Access Centres

Deaf Aotearoa have set up Access Centres in areas throughout New Zealand where there are no permanent Deaf Aotearoa offices. These Access Centres are an opportunity for the local Deaf Community to meet with a Facilitator.

We can provide:

  • Opportunity to have a chat and to meet other Deaf people.
  • Free information and support services
  • Advice
  • Translation support (e.g. support with reading letters and forms etc.)
  • New ideas for ACE workshops
  • Information about Deaf Aotearoa services 
  • Information about assistive equipment for Deaf/hard of hearing
