Deaf Australia Incorporated (formerly the Australian Association of the Deaf (AAD)) is the leading national body in Australia for Deaf people who use Auslan (Australian Sign Language). Deaf Australia represents the views of Deaf people, provides information to the Deaf and wider communities, facilitates improved access to information and services, and liaises with the Australian Government and relevant industry leaders and service providers to ensure that Deaf people are accepted, respected and included in the Australian community.
Deaf Australia is managed by Deaf people who are actively involved in promoting, preserving, informing and supporting the ongoing development of the Australian Deaf community, its language and cultural heritage.
Deaf Australia believes that Deaf people belong to a linguistic minority group and are disadvantaged by a lack of access to communication, education and services. It is our goal to reverse this inequality and to empower Deaf people through full access and self-determination in an equal world.
