Review of Auslan interpreting service use in primary care
Review of Auslan interpreting service use in primary care
Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care 2024.
The Australian Government committed $0.6 million in 2022–23 to conduct a review of Auslan interpreting services in primary care settings (the Auslan report). Australian Healthcare Associates did the review between January and December 2023.
The Deaf community has highlighted “systemic failures” in how communication supports are provided, including Auslan interpreters, in many healthcare settings.
Macro Impact Consulting was part of the stakeholder consultation for this report and we are proud to be listed as a resource for primary care training.
We've put together a video summary to help you when you're having conversations with your support networks.
This video is an introduction to some of the main differences between mental health supports, funding options (Australia) and access (self vs referral).

It covers just a few of the basics and you might get different information from your own research and support networks. Always do your own research and follow the advice of your own professional networks.
