Hospitals Forum
Auslan Interpreting in Victorian Hospitals
Open Fourm
Deaf Victoria, partnering with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, is conducting an investigation into the provision of Auslan Interpreting in Victorian Hospitals. We are trying to identify what changes need to be made to ensure that the hospital experience for the Deaf patient is less traumatic and communication is more effective.
