2024-T2-Auslan: Deaf Awareness Training

Deaf Awareness Training supports people wanting to further their communication skills in the workplace, community groups and for everyday life. Auslan In The West was established in 2017 to provide the community the enrichment of Australian Sign Language in the Western region of Victoria and in Western Australia. It is a great benefit for everyone to learn a visual language to communicate.

In this course, we will cover all the topics:

  • Learning about Deaf Community and Deaf Culture
  • Communicating with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community
  • Technology equipment used for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people
  • How to book an Auslan Interpreter
  • Learn Auslan alphabet, numbers and greeting signs

This session will be facilitated by Auslan In The West, Darren and Briana Beath at Barkly Square, Ballarat East. 

Darren and Briana Beath are both Profoundly Deaf. Their two children are hearing and their first language is Auslan. They are a bilingual family and communicate in Auslan every day. Darren and Briana have taught Auslan for over 10 years and enjoy teaching Auslan in various settings.

    Cancellation Policy

    Ballarat East Neighbourhood House (BENH) reserves the right to cancel activities if the required minimum number of participants enrolled prior to the activity starting date is not met. A full refund will be given for payments received.

    Refund Policy

    Fee refunds are not automatic and must be applied for in writing to the Manager.

    The following will be taken into account before a Refund is issued:

    • Approved fee refunds are only processed after the fees have been cleared through the bank account.
    • A student excluded, suspended, or expelled under a BENH/Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre/ Wendouree Neighbourhood Centre policy or procedure is not entitled to a refund (except where any Commonwealth or State legislation or code of practice provides otherwise).
    • Where the student ceases training of their own volition prior to the midway point of the program (defined as midway through unit completion, or midway through time period of course, whichever is the earlier), the maximum fee refund will be 50% of the total fee payment.
    • Where the student ceases training of their own volition after the midway point of the program as defined above, no refund is payable.
    • Refunds will not be issued after course commencement except in exceptional circumstances or where funding guidelines stipulate this requirement. In exceptional circumstances a participant may apply in writing for special consideration of a refund for the following bereavement, hospitalisation and/or unexpectedly having to assume carer’s responsibilities.
    • BENH will not issue refunds for a change in working hours; inconvenient travel; moving interstate; job change or change of career direction or change of mind.
    • Actual attendance in class by the student will not be considered when assessing a refund request.
