Welcome to the Deafness Council of NSW

The Deafness Council of New South Wales is a non-profit, volunteer organisation with charitable status. As a peak body, we function as a voice for our members, assisting deaf and hearing impaired adults and children, and those with other disorders of the ear. We support many member organisations throughout NSW that provide assistance and support through multidisciplinary approaches, including rehabilitation, education and counselling.

We also offer support and advice for advocacy that gives deaf and hearing impaired people a voice. The Deafness Council and its members are concerned with encouraging understanding of hearing loss, and of ensuring hearing impaired and deaf people experience equality and social inclusion.
