What is Auslan?

In plain English

Australian Sign Language, the language of the Australian Deaf community. The NDIS can fund Auslan interpreting and training where it relates to your disability.

Auslan is Australian Sign Language and the main language of many Deaf Australians. The NDIS can fund Auslan interpreting so you can take part in appointments, work and community life, and it can fund training where that relates to your disability. Auslan is a full language with its own grammar, not a signed version of English. Booking a qualified interpreter early is wise, as availability can be limited.
