Auslan Day is almost here, and we want to see how you’re celebrating.
On 13 April, communities across Australia will come together to celebrate Australian Sign Language: the language at the heart of Deaf culture and identity. Whether you’re signing with your family, attending a local event, or simply marking the day, we’d love to see it.
Are you hosting or attending a fun community event we haven’t heard about? Be sure to send in your events and we will feature them on our website! Auslan Day – Deaf Connect
How to share your Auslan Day
It’s simple. Post a photo or video on Instagram or Facebook showing how you’re spending Auslan Day, then:
Tag us: @DeafConnectAU
Use the hashtag: #AuslanDay2026
We’ll be resharing posts to our stories throughout the day, just post and tag us for your chance to be featured.
What can you share?
Anything that shows your connection to Auslan and the Deaf community. Some ideas:
- A video of you signing your favourite phrase or an Auslan greeting
- A photo from a local Auslan Day event
- A moment with your Auslan class or Deaf mates
- A shout-out to someone who has shaped your Auslan journey
- Anything that captures what Auslan means to you
There’s no wrong way to celebrate.
