For this year's National Week of Deaf People, we have General Manager of Deaf Victoria, Philip Waters discussing how we can create a more inclusive environment in the health system. Thank you to Deaf Victoria Inc. for their contribution in delivering this important message.

Please ask your healthcare worker if you need an Auslan interpreter in one of our services, both in and out of business hours. More information: bit.ly/45UYIfD
