Throughout National Hearing Awareness Week, Deafness Forum Australia will be highlighting how hearing inclusion shows up in everyday environments, including:

In Schools

Deaf-friendly classroom communication practices
Language access strategies that support learning
Building confidence and participation for Deaf and hard of hearing students

In Workplaces

Designing meetings and spaces with accessibility in mind
Reducing communication barriers through better audio, sightlines and tools
Supporting colleagues through inclusive communication design

In Communities

Celebrating inclusive communication through Auslan learning and participation
Encouraging shared responsibility for accessibility
Recognising that small adjustments can create meaningful change

Because accessibility is not an add-on, it is centered in effective design.
