About the Centres for Deaf Education:
The Centres for Deaf Education cater for children and students with moderate to profound bilateral hearing loss. The Centres are co-located within mainstream preschools and schools and have a bilingual-bicultural approach (Auslan and spoken/written English).
Students enrolled in the Centres for Deaf Education have educational needs resulting from their hearing loss and may use hearing aids and/or cochlear implants and may have Auslan as their first language. A percentage of these students do not have full access to a first language at home. A number of students present with increased learner complexity due to coexisting needs in the areas of cognition, behaviour and/or mental health.
