Auslan is Australian Sign Language, the language of the Australian Deaf Community. Auslan is a distinct language, with its own grammar and vocabulary.

Sign languages use manual communication and gestures instead of sound to express the speaker’s thoughts and meaning. This involves a combination of hand shapes, facial expressions and the orientation and movement of hands, arms or body. There is no one universal sign language.

This introductory course will teach you the basics, it will build confidence and allow you to engage with our non-verbal community members.

This course will prepare you for the following course called ‘Beyond Spelling”.
