20-26 September

The National Week of Deaf People raises awareness of people who are Deaf, and celebrates their community, history, culture and language Auslan.

Many people in the Deaf community do not identify deafness with disability, but rather as Deaf culture.

Everyone is invited by the Deaf community to celebrate Deaf culture. This year the theme is "Celebrating Thriving Deaf Communities". You can find daily subthemes on the World Federation of the Deaf website .

In 2021, Deaf Services and the Deaf Society are running an Auslan Leaders Challenge where leaders and community members can learn to sign a message in Auslan. Learn how you can get involved on the Deaf Society website .

Providing culturally safe, appropriate and inclusive care that is tailored to the needs of each individual is central to Standard 1 in the Aged Care Quality Standards .
