Why Support The Deaf Lottery
Every Deaf Lottery ticket funds important initiatives and events that empower Deaf Australians.
One of these is Deaf Festival Sydney – Australia’s largest celebration of Deaf culture, language, and community.
The Deaf Lottery is the fundraising sponsor of Deaf Festival Sydney, which is an event driven by Deaf Connect and a committed committee of volunteer organisers.
With performances, workshops, and activities tailored for Deaf audiences, as well as plenty of activities and learning opportunities for hearing people as well there’s something for everyone.
By supporting the Deaf Lottery, you’re getting behind events that help Deaf Australians belong and connect across the nation.
Our mentors are Deaf adults with specialised training in early childhood development. They are matched with families and focus on first language acquisition, behaviours, social skills, and culture.
These critical skills form responsive parent-child relationships which are not just essential for brain development but for developing positive relationships as the deaf child navigates the world.
Did you know that 1 in 6 Australians live with some form of hearing loss?
Deaf Connect is focused on our commitment to community, leadership, innovation and culture. Supported by the Deaf Lottery, we aim to:
- Work with individuals and the community to understand and meet their needs.
- Drive improvements and new opportunities aligned with our Mission and enhancing our sustainability.
- Develop our influence and position to enhance the capacity of the Deaf community.
- Enable organisational capability, capacity and readiness.
