Donations will greatly support Deaf Australia in continuing providing strong voice and representation for deaf and hard of hearing people on accessible communications and supports. 

For deaf people, Auslan (Australian Sign Language) plays an important part in every step of person’s life, from birth through to school, through work and community, and through family and more and are slowly removing the obstacles in every steps.

Deaf Australia do this through raising awareness of and about Auslan through many activities by working with various providers to improve access to Auslan; such as ensuring Auslan interpreter is shown throughout emergency and community announcements on television broadcasts; working with government to ensure their websites are Auslan accessible. 

Much of our work are being done behind the scenes to break the barriers so to allow deaf people to participate in the community, education, employment and everyday activities as equally as others.

The funding for important work has been greatly diminished and we now rely on your support to help us to make the difference for deaf people, their families and the community. 

That is why Deaf Australia is asking for your generous support by donating to us to continue our work towards a diverse and inclusive Australia for every citizen through education, research and collaboration in removing the barriers and enriching the diversity of Australia – with Auslan.

All donations will greatly assist Deaf Australia.
