Australian Sign Language also known as Auslan will be offered as an elective to increase inclusiveness and address a shortage of interpreters.
Australian Sign Language, also known as Auslan, will be offered as an elective to students from kindergarten to Year 10 to increase inclusiveness and address a shortage of interpreters.
Auslan interpreters became as recognisable as premiers delivering daily media briefings and are now a common fixture at music performances and festivals."By rolling out a K-10 Auslan syllabus, we're delivering on our commitment to create a more inclusive community," minister for disability inclusion Kate Washington said.
The Auslan syllabus will be optional and it can be offered in classrooms from 2026, giving schools and teachers enough time to put in place the changes.
