Deaf Services Needs Your Support During COVID-19

Blog 6

It’s a difficult time for many of us in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for those who need extra support or services during this uncertain time. Now more than ever, not-for-profit organisations like Deaf Services appreciate your support.

What does Deaf Services do?

Deaf Services provides vital programs and services to a wide range of vulnerable community members such as Deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing and people with disabilities. Their service extends across all ages, with a focus on empowering the Deaf community to live full and independent lives.

Support Deaf Services - Auslan (Australian Sign Language) courses

A great example of Deaf Services in action is the Auslan interpreters present at every Queensland Emergency Broadcast. Deaf Services offers a range of programs, such as:

  • Providing early intervention and therapy support for Deaf and hard of hearing infants and children
  • Improving the quality of life, independence and personal well-being of Deaf and hard of hearing seniors
  • Support and information for Deaf and hard of hearing Australians as they transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme
  • The delivery of nationally recognised accredited Auslan (Australian Sign Language) courses

How can I support Deaf Services?

The Deaf Lottery Australia provides important funding for Deaf Services to continue to operate. Every ticket purchased in each Deaf Lottery Australia draw supports the delivery of Deaf Services’ vital programs.

Why your support matters

The Australian Government has announced that essential services will remain in operation as a core priority through the COVID-19 pandemic, which is why the programs Deaf Services deliver are now more important than ever. As a not-for-profit organisation, Deaf Services relies on the generosity of the community to continue to provide new and vital services. It’s crucial that support for these services remain consistent, especially in times of crisis. Deaf Services provides support to vulnerable members of our community: Deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, seniors and people with a disability.
