Auslan Resources
Auslan Resources is run by Susan McConnell, a fourth-generation Deaf person and native Auslan user.
Susan worked as a Teacher of the Deaf for 10 years, and has also taught LOTE Auslan in primary schools, as well as VCE Auslan in high schools (Years 11 and 12).
For Teachers
Schools now require Auslan teachers to teach Auslan effectively as a second language, using the Australian Curriculum.
Many teachers (as I experienced firsthand) find it time-consuming to create quality Auslan teaching materials, or even to find reliable Auslan resources anywhere.
For this reason, I have invested many hours into creating high‑quality Auslan resources especially for teachers, to save them time and help them teach effectively.
If you are a teacher visiting this website, I hope you find the resources useful.
South Dialect Auslan and North Dialect Auslan
This website now includes both South and North Dialect Auslan.
Please choose the correct dialect for your school.
South Dialect: VIC, SA, WA, TAS, NT
North Dialect: QLD, NSW
Some Auslan signs differ from state to state; however, most Deaf people have no difficulty understanding each other.
When teaching Auslan, please double-check signs with someone knowledgeable in your state, as there may be variations due to local area, age, or social influences.
