Auslan speaking support providers
Auslan is about how information and interpreting are arranged around support. It is not a language a worker speaks. A provider listing is only a starting point. Confirm who arranges the service, how it is booked and paid for, and how it will work for the person.

Providers that list Auslan
No SolDirectory member provider lists Auslan at the moment. Providers supply their own language information, so confirm the specific worker, fluency, dialect, communication method and availability directly.
Public-register providers that mention Auslan
These providers appear on the NDIS Commission register of registered providers and the My Aged Care provider register, and their own website mentions Auslan. That is not proof of fluency, an interpreting credential or current availability, so ask the provider directly about the specific worker and how communication will work.

Questions to ask before support begins
- Ask who arranges and books Auslan for the person, and who pays for it.
- Confirm which information needs to be accessible (spoken, signed, written, Easy Read) and by when.
- Ask when a qualified independent interpreter or translator will be used instead of a family member or a bilingual worker.
- Check current availability, funding, privacy and the written service agreement.
How bilingual support, interpreters, privacy and funding differ is explained on the language support guide.
Frequently asked questions about Auslan
Is there official information in Auslan?
Yes. The NDIS publishes information in Auslan. The links are on this page, and they are written by the agencies themselves, not by SolDirectory.
Does a listing prove that a provider can arrange Auslan?
No. Providers supply their own information. Confirm what they can arrange, how it is booked and who pays before support begins.
Is a bilingual worker the same as an accredited interpreter?
No. A bilingual worker may communicate directly during support, while an accredited interpreter has a separate interpreting role. Ask what is appropriate for important, technical or consent-related discussions.
