Advocacy
Don’t feel heard? Need someone to speak up for you? An advocate makes sure your views are considered, and that you understand your rights.

Independent Living
RAD empowers deaf people to live independently. We can help build important life skills and support deaf people to participate in activities or hobbies.

YouthAdvance
We support young people to develop important life skills, reduce social isolation and build confidence.
Need an interpreter?
Access to information and communication is one of the biggest barriers for deaf people. One of the easiest ways to provide access and communicate clearly is to book an interpreter.
Our Deaf Support services empower our clients, creating meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
