22.01.2022 Hello Everyone, Hopefully everyone is well and coping in these most unusual and difficult times. For the past two months the DRC has been closed due to the COVID-19 crisis.... However, due to the relaxing of a number of the COVID-19 restrictions, the DRC will reopen to the public from 9am Monday 25 May. Please keep in mind that social distancing restrictions are still in place and will be enforced in our office. Should you wish to visit with us, please ensure you adhere to the following measures; * It is very important that you make an appointment to visit with us. * No more than three people at a time (you, a carer/friend/relative and a DRC representative). * If you or someone you have been in contact with is unwell or has been unwell, or you have been in contact with someone who has or has had COVID-19, please do not visit us. * You will be asked to use hand sanitiser prior to entering the office. * If you are unable to attend our office and require a home visit, this can be arranged, with similar measures applying. These measures, along with our office set up, will ensure social distancing remains possible and enables us to manage the number of people in our office at any one time. Of course, if you feel unsafe or are unable to visit us, we can arrange meetings or assistance via Skype, Zoom, Email, Text or phone. I look forward to seeing each of you again very soon. Until then, take care, stay safe and good health to you all. Best regards Glenn Vermeulen CEO

14.01.2022 The DRC has made the decision to close our office for a few weeks. This decision has not been made lightly, but is necessary due to health concerns for the community we serve, taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic. This closure is from Monday March 23 until Monday April 16. You can still contact us via phone, email or text (see attached notice for details). Face to face visits are not available. Stay healthy everyone.

12.01.2022 AUSLAN Interpreted Event Hearing Maud is a work of creative non-fiction that details the author’s experiences of deafness after losing most of her hearing at age four. It charts how, as she grew up, she was estranged from people and turned to reading and writing for solace, eventually establishing a career as a writer. Central to her narrative is the story of Maud Praed, the deaf daughter of 19th century Queensland expatriate novelist Rosa Praed. Although Maud was deaf from i...nfancy, she was educated at a school which taught her to speak rather than sign, a mode difficult for someone with little hearing. The breakup of Maud’s family destabilised her mental health and at age twenty-eight she was admitted to an asylum, where she stayed until she died almost forty years later. Through uncovering Maud’s story, Jessica began to understand her own experiences of deafness and how they contributed to her emotional landscape, relationships and career. Meet Jessica White in conversation with Inga Simpson This event will be AUSLAN-interpreted Tickets: $15 (includes a complimentary glass of wine or juice) Book Here - https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=561865&
