*Deaf represents all culturally Deaf and hard of hearing people
Deaf Australia is a Deaf-led advocacy and information organisation in Australia representing all Deaf, Deafblind, hard-of-hearing people and others who use Auslan (Australian Sign Language) as their language of preference.
Deaf Australia was founded in 1986 as a not-for-profit organisation that represents all Deaf, hard of hearing people and others who are fluent and knowledgeable about Auslan.
Deaf Australia’s mission and vision guides us in striving to ensure every deaf person as citizens in Australia has the right to full participation in their communities with Auslan as the preferred choice of language.
Deaf Australia’s projects are aligned with our core mission and values. We collaborate with governments, stakeholders and other sectors where needed in order to support compliance with the UN’s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the UN’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
We offer some exciting products for our Deaf Community. You can use it for learning or leisure purposes. The Auslan Shop will be expanding with new products over time.
