On Set, In Language

When Deafness Forum Australia set out to create its Auslan brand film, the intention was clear. This was not simply about translation, but about authenticity.

National Auslan Day

Each year on April 13, Australians come together to recognise and celebrate National Auslan Day, honouring the language, culture, history and community of deaf Australians.
