Deaf Children Australia employs over 60 staff and volunteers who, together with our Board of Directors, are united in their desire to remove barriers to the personal development and social inclusion faced by children and young people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

In achieving DCA’s vital work, our organisation, staff and volunteers uphold the following values:

Courage – We stand up for young people who are deaf and their families; and through innovation we strengthen their outcomes and hope for the future.
Respect – We are loyal to our history but respect the choice of individuals and the need for change.
Integrity – We are dependable in our service delivery and honour the commitments we make.
Teamwork – We embrace diverse opinions to build relationships that strengthen our capacity to achieve a common sector vision.
Resourcefulness – We are committed to delivering better value through efficient and effective systems and processes; and the use of resources entrusted to us.

We aim to provide children and young people who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families with the opportunities and skills to face life’s challenges and to celebrate their potential.

- access community, recreational and youth activities,
- engage counselling support , and to
- develop skills in advocacy, relationship building and influence

Deaf Children Australia strives to provide high quality services, and we welcome your feedback on all aspects of our service delivery.

Our aim is to constantly review and improve our ways of working with families.
