About Us
MyAuslan Academy Aim:
MyAuslan Academy aims to provide an easy, accessible and innovative portal to learning Auslan, and an understanding of the culture it supports.
We offer courses designed for:
- Families and friends of deaf children or adults.

- Deaf people of any age who wants a deeper understanding of their language and culture.
What’s Involved?
- MyAuslan courses are all easily digestible chunks of learning. Choose the ones most relevant or interesting for you.
- Courses are offered as a blended format combining online self-paced modules, with small group “zoom-torials”, as well as work-books or worksheets. One on one tutoring is also available for an additional cost.
- For those who prefer you can purchase the online modules only.
