Why Support The Deaf Lottery

Ensuring Services that Empower the Deaf Community

With your support, we expanded our interpreter workforce to over 450 interpreters across every state and territory, we hosted community events with over 4,000 attendees, we supported over 6,500 students to learn Auslan, and we continued our collaboration with federal and state governments to advocate for equality.

Our mission to ensure access to Auslan also made significant progress for Deaf seniors last year. With your support, we expanded the ‘Ageing Well’ program, which provides home care services to Deaf seniors. Ageing Well is now available in Western Australia and Victoria, alongside its existing operations in Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, and South Australia.

None of this would have been possible without the generosity of dedicated lottery supporters like you. Here’s to changing even more lives in 2025.

Our mentors are Deaf adults with specialised training in early childhood development. They are matched with families and focus on first language acquisition, behaviours, social skills, and culture.

These critical skills form responsive parent-child relationships which are not just essential for brain development but for developing positive relationships as the deaf child navigates the world.
