Deaf Victoria is announce that we are launching an investigation into Auslan interpreting provision in hospitals in Victoria. We will be working with Aslia Vic and the Victorian Equal Opportunities and Human Rights Commission to identify changes and good outcomes for all. We have informed all Interpreting agencies, hospitals and Deaf service providers of our intentions via an open letter sent on 22nd August 2013 which you can find here.
WE NEED YOUR STORIES!!
What we are doing now is setting up one on one interviews with the deaf and hard of hearing people in Victoria, interpreters, and also will set up a forum for discussion. We have set up a Facebook page for you all to discuss on there too, called "Auslan Interpreting in Hospitals in Victoria" . We have an online complaints form on our website which is live NOW http://www.deafvictoria.org.au/index.php/interpreter-complaints-form, otherwise, please email me on melissa.lowrie@deafvictoria.org.au, or SMS 0431 476 721 with any complaints or stories you have.
Your information will be kept confidential at all times, we will assist you to resolve the issue, and also collect the data to identify areas of change.
