About Us

At ACT Deafness Resource Centre (DRC) we offer information, referrals, resources and advocacy to the deaf and hearing-impaired communities in the ACT and surrounding regions of NSW.

A drop-in opportunity exists for service users to access immediate assistance for their hearing issues. This service provides our clients with a one on one consultation to discuss their hearing loss. This enables us to provide our clients with information and advice tailored to their specific hearing loss requirements, empowering them to manage their hearing loss as effectively as possible.

We also provide Workplace Assessments, Home Safety Assessments and deliver Hearing Loss/Deaf Awareness Training to private and government organisations. In addition, we provide presentations designed to educate and inform people about Hearing Loss and Deafness.

Complementing our services is the large range of Assistive Technology we have available for sale. From products for Home Safety – including Smoke Alarms and doorbells – to personal microphone systems to help you hear better in social situations – we have it all. Our online store enables us to extend our reach to assist people further afield from the ACT.

We also provide services into aged care facilities whereby we manage their hearing devices, keeping them clean and in good working order. This is aimed specifically at nursing homes where the residents may not have the ability to manage their devices themselves.

The DRC is a registered NDIS Provider (Provider # 4-3LLK-379) and a tax concession charity (TCC) with ATO deductible gift recipient (DGR) status: all gifts 100% deductible.
