Auslan90 is the only daily news service delivered in Australian Sign Language, giving Deaf Australians access to critical national and global information.
Without Federal funding, Auslan90 will end on 30 June 2026 – cutting off accessible news for Deaf people across the country.
Auslan90 provides coverage of national emergencies, elections, government announcements, fuel shortages and more.
For many Deaf people, it is the only way to stay informed in their first language.
