Make the important content of your website or printed materials easily accessible for your deaf clients/customers by adding a link to a quality Auslan translation.

For many Deaf people, Auslan is their primary language and they have to work hard to fully understand complex communication in English.

Offering them an Auslan translation via a link on your website, or QR codes on printed material, would make them much more likely to engage with your content and your organisation, and would be a strong statement of your commitment to equality of access.

MyAuslan translations are done to the highest standard in Australia, with the Auslan performed by a degree qualified Deaf native signer.

Auslan to English
English to Auslan
Fix my English

Need to send an important letter or email to a government department or a big company?
Or want to express something complicated to a hearing friend or relative who can't sign?
Worried your English is not great and perhaps they won't understand you or won't take your letter/email as seriously as they should?
No problem! Just film yourself signing what you want to say in Auslan, send it to us and we'll convert it into proper English.

For many Deaf people, Auslan is their first language and English is their second language. You should not feel embarrassed if you sometimes find it difficult to find the right words in English.
All us Deafies know what it’s like when some Hearing bureaucrat misunderstands your message, or assumes you’re dumb just because your English isn’t perfect. Frustrating, isn’t it?!
MyAuslan translations help you fix this problem by allowing you to use your preferred language (Auslan of course). Why do the hard work of converting your message to English when we can do it for you?
You get to choose the type and level of English you want:
A. Match my Auslan (ie casual, including slang etc)
B. Proper English (ie grammatically correct, but same level as the Auslan)
C. “Don’t F*ck with Me” English (ie Formal and high-level English for important matters or for responding to patronising Hearies who treat you like you’re dumb!
