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.
On Monday, Deaf Victoria EGM Philip Waters headed to Geelong to meet with Barwon Health CEO Frances Diver to discuss Deaf and hard of hearing people accessing hospital and health services.
It was a valuable opportunity to discuss where barriers currently exist and what can be done to improve communication, accessibility and the overall healthcare experience for our community.
Importantly, Barwon Health has agreed to meet directly with the Deaf community in Geelong to hear about their experiences and discuss accessibility and how services can be improved.
Watch this space — we’ll share more information soon about when and where the community conversation will take place in Geelong.

The topics will be about how to use phones, iPads, laptops, and devices, for different captioning apps and how to set them up. Please bring devices, and we can teach you how to get that set up. Looking forward to seeing you there. Bye-bye!

Today, Deaf Victoria’s Executive General Managers, Natasha Gallardo and Philip Waters, are attending the VCOSS Community Sector Summit 2026.
It’s a great opportunity to connect with leaders and organisations from across Victoria’s community sector, share ideas and hear about the challenges and opportunities shaping our sector.
For Deaf Victoria, being part of these conversations is important to ensuring Deaf and hard of hearing Victorians are represented as we work towards stronger, more accessible and inclusive communities.
We’re looking forward to a great day of learning, connection and conversation.
