Newsletters

We send out newsletters that keep you informed of activities, events and news from the Deaf sector (Ministry of Education, Deaf Education Centres, Ministry of Health, Deaf Aotearoa etc).

Newsletters are only sent via email and will be made available to read on this website, and our Facebook page, so please make sure you enter your email address.

If you do require a print version; please tell us so we can arrange to print and post you a copy of upcoming newsletters.

Ethnicity and Hearing Level Information

We collect statistical information about our members, such as ethnicity and hearing level identification, so that we can apply for funding and grants to help us carry on the work we do.

Information is important in being able to tell your story, as part of the collective stories of Deaf and hard of hearing children in New Zealand Aotearoa.
