A voice for deaf and hard of hearing Victorians
Deaf Victoria advocates on behalf of deaf and hard of hearing Victorians aiming to make Victoria more inclusive and accessible.
We are funded by the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing to provide free individual advocacy services. We undertake systemic advocacy and provide education and consultancy services.
REMINDER - Online Community Consultation next week!
The future: what’s ahead for Deaf advocacy? What issues will Deaf Victoria be advocating for in the years to come? And what does that mean for your future?
Join us for an important discussion about advocacy for deaf and hard of hearing people. We want to hear what matters most to you and gather your feedback to share directly with the Victorian Government.
We’ll also be talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI), how it might affect our community, and whether this is something Deaf Victoria should be advocating on. Your experiences, ideas, and feedback are important and will help shape Deaf Victoria’s future advocacy work.
Where and when?
Wednesday 27 May 2026, 6-8pm
Online (Zoom) - us02web.zoom.us/j/9533481449
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Victorian state election is coming up later this year. Recent federal and state budgets included very little new funding for deaf and hard of hearing people. Deaf Victoria believes this is not good enough and is continuing advocacy to make sure our community’s needs are recognised during the election.
Five key issues are being raised with political parties: Deaf education policy, a Deaf Hub, an Auslan Commission, deaf mental health services, and better access support for deaf people in hospitals. Deaf Victoria will share clear information showing which parties support which issues, to help our community make an informed voting choice.
Check out the Auslan video for more details, or read the transcript in the comments. ... See MoreSee Less
