Here is our new website and the new look is only a small part of the big picture. Our aim with the new site is to improve your access to information, and more importantly, the opportunity to directly leave comments on our web pages, to be part of forums and to have the chance to talk on-line with staff at our organisation.

If you have difficulty reading PDF files on our website, please try installing or upgrading Acrobat Reader. You may also need to install the latest version of Acrobat Flash Player to view videos. 

Should you encounter any issues with our site, please contact us at web@deafchildren.org.au.

To create your free account:

http://www.deafchildrenaustralia.org.au/user/register
and we will send you an email with a link it in, back to our website.

By registering, you gain access to leaving content and services. As a registered user you can:

1. comment easily on any article (if you are anonymous you need to leave your email address),
2. join in the Chat with Experts events,
3. leave comments in your own Blog area under Your Stories

From time to time we will have people available for you to chat with online. These chats will appear under Expert Chat.

Groups are useful if you wish to have new information emailed to you, as it is updated on the website. The groups you can join are:

1. Education
2. Recreation
3. Events and Workshops

My account allows you to change your displayed name (your real one is hidden, unless you choose to put it into a post).

Another new thing about the website is the set of icons you can see at the bottom of every post. People are sharing the web and sites like Facebook and Digg (to name but two) allow people to take an interesting story or page, and share with others. If you are already a member of Facebook (or any of the other sites listed) clicking on one of these icons will take you and the story link to your area. If you are not a member, you will be asked to join.
