Deaf Children Australia's Partners and Supporters
Deaf Children Australia is supported by our amazing Partners, who help us to raise awareness and to inspire and empower deaf and hard of hearing children and young people to reach their full potential. Our Partners help us to achieve this vision, and together, we continue to work toward creating a better world for deaf and hard of hearing children and young people.
Through the support of our Partners, we have been able to create our range of Platypus Playhouse resources – supporting deaf and hard of hearing young people aged 0-4 to learn Auslan. Our Partners have also helped us to connect families in both Queensland and Victoria with our Parent Mentor Program, connecting families with deaf and hard of hearing children to others who share their experiences.
If you are interested in partnering with Deaf Children Australia, please see more information here.
