Auslan Endorsement System
Process of endorsement - new materials (pre-publication)
- The author/producer sends materials to the Deaf Australia Brisbane office (see address below), accompanied by the standard test fee. The fee is $275, to be made payable to Deaf Australia Inc.
- Deaf Australia Brisbane sends the material to three or four members of the Auslan Endorsement Team with a criteria checklist.
- Each member of the team reviews the item and fills out the checklist. When completed, the material and the checklist are returned to the Deaf Australia Brisbane office.
- If there are significant disagreements between testers, Deaf Australia Brisbane will ask the testers to discuss the material and arrive at an agreed position.
- If the material meets the criteria, Deaf Australia Brisbane adds it to the list of endorsed Auslan materials on the Deaf Australia website, and sends it back to the author/producer with a form stating that it has been approved for endorsement by Deaf Australia, and an order form for the number of stickers required (artwork for inclusion of the stickers in the item can also be provided).
- If the material does not meet the criteria, Deaf Australia Brisbane returns it to the author/producer with a form stating that it has not been approved, and brief information on which criteria it failed to meet. Authors/producers who wish to have a detailed review and report on how to change the material to meet the criteria will need to pay a further fee, to be determined depending on the extent of the work required.
Send materials for testing to: Deaf Australia Inc PO Box 1083 Stafford Qld 4053
