Deaf Children Australia

Deaf Children Australia

Deaf Children Australia is a non-for-profit organisation that supports deaf and hard of hearing children, young people and their families to remove barriers to their personal development and social inclusion.

Deaf Children Australia provides a range of services to families with deaf and hard of hearing children. These services help families build confidence and connections with others in the community.

They support all forms of communication and believe in equal opportunities for all.




The hard working crew at Help Enterprises. Help Enterprises

HELP is primarily involved in providing training, development and employment opportunities, for people with varying levels and types of disability.

We operate as a not-for-profit community based social enterprise, with a primary focus of providing supported and open employment, vocational training and post-school services for people with disability (through Commonwealth and State Government funding).

We successfully produce and market a range of products and services under our commercial business units to supplement the disability services offered, while providing employment for people with disability.
