ACCAN and Deaf Australia want Deaf and Hearing people to have equal access to telecommunications (phone, mobile, internet) and here's your chance to help.
How can you help?
1. Go to the ACCAN stall at the Deaf Australia conference in Hobart 13-15 May. Please tell us your telecommunications problems and we will video you. We will use the videos to lobby the government to improve phone services for Deaf people.
2. If you are not coming to Hobart, you can send an email or video to Deaf Australia: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please send the videos/emails by 31 May.
