Canberra Deaf Club

Canberra Deaf Club (CDC) is a social group for everyone to get together at Woden Southern Cross Club on the last Friday of each month.

The club’s original mission is to provide a place for deaf and hard of hearing people and their families or friends. Auslan students and even anyone who is keen to learn sign language are more than welcome to join! The club is open to everyone and entry donation is a gold coin ($1 or $2) and no membership is required. https://www.canberradeafclub.org.au/
