Community Auslan education and inclusion program

Community-focused Auslan education, resources, workshops and accessible learning tools.

Planned

Stage: Planned — program design

What it is
We intend to provide Auslan education, learning resources, workshops and accessible digital learning tools — developed together with community organisations, educators and people with lived experience.
How it advances our purpose
It advances education, accessibility and social inclusion by building community capability to communicate with Deaf and hard-of-hearing people.
Who benefits
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people, community members, carers, volunteers, educators and service providers.
Expected public benefit
Greater community capability to communicate accessibly, and stronger social inclusion and participation.

How we deliver it

Like all of our work, this activity is delivered within our charitable purpose and governed by our board-approved policies. We co-design with people who have lived experience, engage relevant community, education and research partners, and apply proportionate safeguarding, privacy, ethics and conflict-of-interest controls.

Where the activity involves collaboration with partners or commercial entities, it proceeds only where it demonstrably advances our charitable purpose, on documented, fair, arm's-length terms. Any resources produced are held for public benefit, and progress is evaluated against real accessibility and inclusion outcomes.

What this project needs — and how you can help

We are early, and the right partners and support make a real difference. If any of this is you, we would love to talk.
