Tired of asking hospitals twice? 🤷♀️
We know that Deaf people often face barriers in hospitals, from unclear communication to a lack of accessible support. That’s changing.
Deaf Victoria, in partnership with public hospitals across Victoria, has helped roll out ...Disability Liaison Officers (DLOs) who are here to support Deaf and hard of hearing community members during hospital visits. These officers can help with access to information, communication support, and ensuring your needs are understood and respected.
👉 Find out which hospitals have DLOs and learn more via the link in our bio!

Open Captioning news!
Yesterday had hearing finally. Hearing was to determine if VCAT will include all of our 112 witness statements or not. So, I have some good and some bad news. I want to know what you think!
Bad news:
Not all statements will be included. Some of the statements were ...not specific enough or mentioned ‘Hoyts’. Lesson learnt for us to make sure future legal campaigns have more specific information. The other reason why is because many of the statements are saying the same thing, and Hoyts has successfully convinced the Member that there is no need to keep repeating the same stories because it will waste valuable court time.
Good news:
The Member checked all 112 for us and ordered that 12 of the best witness statements will be accepted, plus 4 that we think should be included, so a total of 16 statements. Even with this reduced number, the Hearing will take 10 business days to go through! Imagine how long the Hearing would be if we had 112 witness statements, not 23!
Third good news is that the member has forced Hoyts to go back and talk to us at a compulsory conference on 13 July and try to solve the issue before going ahead with a Hearing.
The other news is that the final Hearing date will be on 5 October 2026 for 2 weeks! Is this good or bad news, what do you think?
