Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
The Royal Commission has made new videos available on its website and YouTube channel to help people who are deaf or hard of hearing learn about its work. The videos are presented in Auslan and are captioned.
“The Royal Commission is dedicated to ensuring our information and processes are readily available to all audiences,” said CEO Philip Reed.
“These videos will enable people who are deaf or hard of hearing to access information about the Royal Commission including its purpose, the work it has been doing and how people can be part of it,” he said.
The videos include portions of Commissioner Robert Fitzgerald’s speech at the Information Session in August 2014. This session was held to enable deaf, deaf blind and hard of hearing people, their families and organisations across Australia, to participate and learn about the Royal Commission and its work.
The videos are available to watch on our website and YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/CARoyalComm.
People who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech impairment can use the National Relay Service to contact the Royal Commission. It is available to everyone at no additional charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Calls can be made by TTY on 133 677 or Speak & Listen 1300 555 727.
