Much like our spoken language, Australia's sign language Auslan has colonial roots. Now the Indigenous community has come up with a sign that acknowledges our nation's Indigenous history. | ABC The Drum

Auslan Day celebrates the rich history, culture, community and language of the Australian Deaf community by honouring the date of first publication of the Auslan dictionary. Watch to see our Deaf staff and students sign a message to celebrate Auslan Day on 13 April. | Queensland Department of Education

Let’s celebrate Auslan Day with Auslan Stage Left! This special day marks the anniversary of the first Auslan dictionary, published on April 13, 1989—officially naming and recognising Auslan as the language of the Australian Deaf community. Join us in honouring the rich culture, history, and language of Deaf Australians. Featuring Josie Hodgetts, a proud Deaf Auslan user from WA—let’s spread awareness and celebrate Auslan together on social media! #deafcommunity #deafaustralia #auslan #auslanday
