Become a Deaf Australia SupporterDownload Deaf Australia Supporter form for 2010-2011 » Deaf Australia Inc, the peak body of and for Deaf people in Australia, has established a Supporters Group for Deaf people, hard of hearing people, hearing people and organisations. If you are not already a member, or you are thinking about becoming a member but would like to know more about Deaf Australia to help you decide, or if you would just like to show that you support us, Deaf Australia Inc invites you to become a supporter of Deaf Australia Inc. There is no fee to become a supporter. Why should I become a supporter?Deaf Australia Inc. is always actively liaising with governments, industry and service providers for improved access to all areas that affect Deaf/hard of hearing people's daily lives - employment, interpreting, education, telecommunications, information access, and so on. By becoming a supporter, you, will not only support us in our work and in reports to government but will also show government that you support the work that Deaf Australia is doing for Deaf people. It will also show which organisations are committed to Deaf Australia Inc's objectives and to working collaboratively with the Deaf Community and its national representative organisation. What benefits do I get if I become a supporter?Deaf Australia publishes a monthly newsletter, Outlook, which can be received by email so that you are up to date on what is happening in the community and what Deaf Australia is doing for Deaf people. We also regularly provide emailed information of interest to our members. As a supporter, you will receive this information. Organisations can forward the emailed information to their staff and community members to keep them informed and to promote access benchmarks for Deaf People. As a supporter, which benefits will I not be entitled to?Members who pay a membership fee receive other benefits as well as information, including voting rights (Deaf members) and discounts on events and Auslan Shop products. These extra benefits are not available to supporters because they are not classified as fully paid up financial members. If you would like to receive the benefits available to full members, you are welcome to become a full member. What's in it for junior supporters (up to age 18)?Becoming a junior supporter has great benefits. You will get information about Deaf Australia youth activities such as the Dorothy Shaw Young Writers Competition, youth camps (both national and international) and other Deaf Australia activities where you can meet and have fun with other deaf youths.
