Goals
Our mission is to ameliorate discrimination against Deaf people in critical situations by:
- Ensuring that front-line staff and emergency services have the capacity to understand and interact with the Deaf community with positive outcomes and a respectful approach.
- Working towards changing the unemployment levels within the Deaf community by providing Deaf experts and people in the Deaf community with employment and business.
- Showing the wider community that the Deaf are capable of working, teaching, being professional, and have skill and expertise.
