A voice for deaf and hard of hearing Victorians
Deaf Victoria advocates on behalf of deaf and hard of hearing Victorians aiming to make Victoria more inclusive and accessible.
We are funded by the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing to provide free individual advocacy services. We undertake systemic advocacy and provide education and consultancy services.
Yesterday, Deaf Victoria’s General Manager Philip Waters was proud to MC DARU’s Strengthening Disability Advocacy Luncheon 2026. Now more than ever, coming together to strengthen advocacy across the disability community is so important. We heard from Senator Jordon Steele-John, a strong voice for disability rights and inclusion, as well as leaders from across the disability sector. The panel brought together Brett Casey, CEO of Deaf Connect; Dan Stubbs, Victoria’s Public Advocate; Emma Bennison, CEO of Disability Advocacy Network Australia; and Julie Kun, Interim CEO of Women with Disabilities Victoria. A valuable conversation about collaboration, leadership and our collective responsibility to keep pushing for a more inclusive and accessible community. #DisabilityAdvocacy2026 #InclusiveCommunity #StrengtheningAdvocacy #DisabilityRights #CollaborationLeadership #DARUevent #AccessibleCommunity ...
