Funded Activity Summary

Medical Signbank: sign language planning and development in interpreter-mediated medical and mental health care delivery for deaf Australians. This collaboration between academic linguists, interpreter service providers, health care providers, sign language interpreters, and the Deaf community will improve the recent initiatives to give deaf people equity in their access to health care services. For the first time, deaf people are able to access medical services early and effectively, improving treatment outcomes and, importantly, preventing conditions occurring in the first place or allowing early intervention before they become much more serious and costly to the individual and the community. This project will therefore be of national benefit, as all stakeholders from all over Australia will be able to access the Medical Signbank resource.
