Deaf Deaf World Workshops

Be prepared to turn off your voice! This popular and highly interactive workshop is for all. We recommend you attend this workshop prior to attending Auslan Community Classes.

What is Deaf Deaf World about?

Deaf Deaf World is a valuable learning experience and resource for professionals, public servants, service providers, health providers, students and anyone with an interest in the Deaf community.
