Deaf Victoria is the peak advocacy body representing deaf and hard of hearing Victorians. We aim to ensure deaf and hard of hearing people in Victoria experience equality, opportunity and connection, and are valued for their unique contributions towards a diverse society. Deaf Victoria is funded by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to provide individual advocacy support for deaf and hard of hearing Victorians. We also undertake project work in areas of systemic advocacy or capacity building to promote a more accessible mainstream community and resilient Deaf Community.
