‘A fascinating journey of deaf sport in Australia for over 140 years. Starting back to the formation of a Deaf Cricket club in Melbourne in 1881, sport has been an important part of supporting deaf culture, community and language (Auslan) across Australia. From community picnics, carnivals, Australian Deaf Games, local, state, national and international deaf sport competitions to Active Deaf Kids programs, our Australian Deaf Community continues to thrive on connecting with each other.’
