We are proudly delivering projects for the Peer Support and Capacity Building (PSCB) grant for the NDIS.

REMINDER - Online Community Consultation next week!
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.
