The Deaf Society of NSW provides a wide range of services and programs to people who use Auslan (Australian Sign Language) as their primary means of communication.

The goal of the Deaf Society is "to work within the community to ensure Deaf people achieve their full rights and fulfil their responsibilities as Australian citizens".

Slgn Language Communications NSW (a division of The Deaf Society of NSW) aims to make sure that high-quality and professional Auslan/English interpreting is available for effective communication between Deaf and hearing clients.

SLC NSW provides interpreters in any situation where Deaf and hearing people wish to communicate effectively. SLC NSW responds to requests from both Deaf and hearing people. We also provide a back-up service to the Community Relations Commission and the Health Care Interpreter Service when necessary.
