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.
Well done to Deaf Australia and the many deaf people who have advocated for 24/7 VRS over the years! This is a massive achievement by Deaf Australia and I am sure you will join us in congratulating them! Please consider being a member to keep supporting their very important work. ...

The future: what’s ahead for Deaf advocacy? What issues will Deaf Victoria be advocating for in the years to come? And what does that mean for your future?
Join us for an important discussion about advocacy for deaf and hard of hearing people. We want to hear what matters most to you and gather your feedback to share directly with the Victorian Government. We’ll also be talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI), how it might affect our community, and whether this is something Deaf Victoria should be advocating on. Your experiences, ideas, and feedback are important and will help shape Deaf Victoria’s future advocacy work.
Where and when?
Wednesday 27 May 2026, 6-8pm
Online (Zoom) - us02web.zoom.us/j/9533481449
We look forward to seeing you there!

I've been recieving a lot of requests from the deaf community for consultations about future advocacy topics, where you can all share your input. I’ve already held a few consultations, and there are more coming up. However some of you aren’t able to attend in person or live too far away. Because of that, we’ll host an online consultation on Wednesday 27 May, at 6pm. The link is in the description - you can join through there. We’ll have an online discussion together and share perspectives. I wish I could visit every location across Victoria, but unfortunately I’m limited to ten locations only. See you there. Cheers! ...
