Auslan Storytime

About

Come along every 1st and 3rd Monday of each month (excluding public holidays and Victorian school holidays) for Auslan Storytime by Deaf storytellers from Expression Australia.

Auslan Storytime brings stories to life through visual language, expression and movement – delivered entirely in Australian Sign Language (Auslan).

This is an inclusive early years program designed to be engaging and accessible for Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing children alike. Sessions are delivered directly in Auslan (not interpreted from spoken English), providing authentic language modelling and a rich introduction to Deaf culture.

A qualified Auslan interpreter supports each session so hearing participants can follow along, creating a shared and inclusive experience for all families. These interactive sessions may include signed storytelling, movement, repetition and informal interaction after the session.
