Auslan Phrase Book - A Reference to Workplace Auslan Signs
Most work colleagues of deaf employees have little or no previous exposure to Auslan and in many workplaces extensive Auslan
training is just not feasible. Individual signs gleaned from a dictionary don’t necessarily translate into useful workplace
concepts or language and usually interpreters are utilised sparingly because of unavailability or because of the costs involved.
The purpose of this book is to provide a quick reference to common workplace signs and concepts for deaf employees and their
colleagues. Deaf Children Australia used the research involved in making the Deaf Children Australia Dictionary of Auslan to
create a phrase book that will assist employers, colleagues and deaf employee’s make the workplace more accessible for all.
