Tasdeaf and Deaf Australia has a vision of Australia as a more perfect and equal place; not only for Deaf people but also for all people Australia-wide.
The Vision 2020 is based on the Vision 2020 that was developed by the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) for their work in the international Deaf community. Deaf Australia is the Australian Ordinary (voting) Member of the WFD.
VISION 2020 GOALS:
Deaf People have full human rights through recognised sign language (Australian Sign Language – or Auslan), through quality of education, and quality of life as well as through full access and self-determination in an equal world.
Governments have incorporated and implemented human rights for all, including those who are linguistic minorities and those who are considered vulnerable. The UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities is implemented in Australia, along with other UN Human Rights instruments. Technology has advanced significantly, creating more equal ‘playing fields’.
