Why does Auslan do that?
Joint our National Week of Deaf People Workshop!

Join this relaxed, interactive workshop to explore the “hidden rules” of everyday signing. No linguistics knowledge needed—just bring your Auslan and curiosity. Its free - Deaf participants get priority; others go on a waitlist.

Transcript: Hi everyone. I want to remind you all that National Week of Deaf People starts next week! Our Deaf Victoria team has posted a video announcing a workshop on Friday 25 September with Darlene Thornton. Darlene will teach us about Auslan and unpack the interesting meanings behind different signs. It's a great opportunity for the Deaf community to come along, learn something new, catch up, and socialise. The workshop is free, but you do need to register through the Humanitix link. It's a really good opportunity, especially as Friday is a public holiday. You may not have work or school, but you can still come into the city, meet up with other Deaf people, have a chat, and learn more about Auslan through Darlene's presentation. See you there!
