Stephanie Linder wins Interpreter of the Year
ASLIA Victoria hosted the 4th Auslan Interpreter of the
Year Awards on Saturday 19 June at the Celebrity Room,
Moonee Valley Racing Club. The event was created
to give sign language interpreters the opportunity
to be recognised for the work they do in ensuring
communication access for the clients with whom they
work. They also provide an opportunity to acknowledge
those organisations who have worked alongside
interpreters ensuring access for the Deaf and hearing
communities in Victoria.
Vicdeaf wishes to congratulate all nominees and winners
of the awards. The winners are as shown.
The program for the evening was changed from
previous years. There was the ‘Oscars’ style awards
ceremony followed by a delicious 3 course meal
including entertainment provided by magician, Chris
Morant and comedian, Stella Young. The MC for the
evening was Paula Norman from Perth and she kept
everyone entertained.
Professional Interpreter Susan Emerson
Stephanie Linder won a number of awards including
Deafblind Interpreter, Deaf Relay Interpreter, Interpreter
Advocate and the prestigious 2009 ASLIA Victoria
Auslan Interpreter of the Year. “I am still shocked about
the ASLIA Victoria Awards and am struggling to put
words to how I feel. I have never been so unprepared
and speechless. Never in my dreams did I think I would
receive the Interpreter of the Year award” Stephanie said.

Report from the Acting CEO
Our People
Graeme Kelly is at the Harvard Business
School in Boston, USA. He is studying
the Harvard Strategic Perspectives for
Not For Profit CEO’s Program and hopes
to bring back new ideas for Vicdeaf.
Graeme has a busy study schedule, but
says it has been an inspiring experience
so far.
Our Services
Client Services have commenced
activities supported by Community Relations and
Development: the aged care research project is in progress
and computer training opportunities for older people in
regional Victoria is planned with the support of regional
case managers. The Hear here program, has been delivered
in Hume region, supported by hearservice, and will run in
East Gippsland later this year in partnership with deaf access
VICTORIA.
The Information Services department reports growing
awareness within the community of the Employment
Assistance Fund (EAF) resulting in very high demand for Deaf
Awareness and Auslan Training (DAAT), as well as for other
services from SLC VIC and hearservice. A Young Deaf Leaders
Retreat is being planned for the last weekend in November –
you will find more information about this in Page 3.
SLC VIC is very busy filling over 95% of interpreter bookings
while continuing with its expansion of Video Relay Interpreting
into five additional regional sites around Victoria.
hearservice is looking to strengthen the work of the last few
months having moved into their new East Melbourne and
Oakleigh clinics. The team will be working on a new website
in the coming weeks to provide more up-to-date information
about their services to Deaf and hard of hearing people.
August will be a busy month for hearservice due to Hearing
Awareness Week: this year’s theme is Access all Areas.
Community Relations and Development have commenced
a trial activity, Don’t Lose The Music, for Hearing Awareness
Week which will include both secondary schools and places
of business in the hope of increasing awareness of hearing
loss prevention (particularly relating to the responsible use of
portable music players), using educational materials available
through the hearservice department. The program is based
on an initiative of the Royal National Institute for Deaf People
(RNID) in the UK. Feedback and a formal review will be used
for the future development of the concept.
Disability Employment Services (DES) commenced in March
this year and has seen a significant increase in client referrals
to SensWide and a growth within the department itself. This
has resulted in new positions being created and previous
positions redeveloped, while the employment team continues
to create new ways of delivering services to meet the changing
needs of DES.
Our future: The 2010-15 Strategic Plan
In this issue of Communicate you will find Vicdeaf’s new
Strategic Plan 2010-15. This very important document will
guide the organisation’s direction over the next 5 years. It was
developed by the Senior Management Team, the CEO and
the Board of Directors after consultation with many people,
including members of the Deaf community, hard of hearing
individuals, staff members, the Vicdeaf Staff Consultative
Committee and representatives from organisations which
Vicdeaf works with.
You may notice that Vicdeaf’s Vision has been updated slightly
to ‘Access and equity for Deaf and hard of hearing people’
and a new set of Values developed, to better reflect the work
we do at Vicdeaf and the way we do it.
The next few months will definitely be an exciting time at
Vicdeaf!

Acting CEO
John Lovett Portrait Photo Launched
On Thursday 8 July 2010, Vicdeaf held a small launch
of the new photographic portrait of the late John
Lovett (AM), which was installed at the John Michael
Lovett Community Centre on Level 3 at Vicdeaf in
East Melbourne. John Lovett’s wife, Jill and her family
attended the launch and enjoyed catching up with
members of the Deaf community and Vicdeaf staff.
Vicdeaf President Mac Adam, CEO Graeme Kelly and
David Peters gave speeches about John Lovett’s history
and achievements. John’s son, Craig gave thanks on
behalf of Jill and her family.
John Lovett was well known for his tireless work in the
Deaf community. In 1983 he became the first Deaf
President at Vicdeaf and in 1995 he became President
of International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (then
called CISS), an international peak body for Deaf sports.
In 1986, the Australian Government awarded John
the membership of the Order of Australia (AM) and in
1999, Gallaudet University awarded the Edward Miner
2
Gallaudet Award. John passed away in 2003 and in 2004,
the Community Centre at Vicdeaf became known as the
John Michael Lovett Community Centre.

Worldwide travel: DeafPlanet style
By Hilary Fisher.
15 countries. That’s
how many places
I’ve visited since I
started a 12 month
world-wide journey.
I’ve been to South
East Asia, China,
Mongolia, Russia
and the Baltics and I
still have five months
to go!
There have been
awesome times
(99%), and some
less-awesome times
(1%). I’ve walked the
Great Wall of China,
ridden elephants,
travelled the TransPhoto: In Moscow, Russia.
Photo Source: Hilary Fisher.
Siberian Railway,
stayed in a Mongolian tent, and visited castles. I’ve caught
overcrowded trains in China and travelled overnight. I’ve
been saddened to see men who have stunted growth due
to poverty, and I’ve made new friends everywhere.
I’ve met up with Deaf people and organisations to meet
new people and learn about their culture. I’ve mixed
Auslan, ASL, International Sign and mime together, and
learnt a little Malaysian, Khmer (Cambodian), and Laos
sign language. Sometimes communication has been
unclear but we laugh and keep trying. Visiting other
countries has taught me how important strong language
skills and identity are to Deaf communities. For example,
Mongolia is still working on getting their sign language
vocabulary out there so that Deaf people, especially
in regional areas, can communicate better with family,
friends, teachers and employers.
Because I’m lucky enough to travel, I’ve started www.
deafplanet.com.au, a website for intrepid deaf, hard of
hearing and signing travellers. Check it out. It features
myself and others talking about travelling using sign
language, pictures and
plain English. If you are
thinking of travelling,
here is some useful
travel advice:
•
Get in touch! The
World Federation
of the Deaf is a
handy starting place
for reaching out to
people overseas.
Photo: The Mongolian ger (tent) I slept in.
•
Think ahead! Research the country you’re visiting. If
English is limited, learn to write ‘the basics’ in their
language, so you can buy things without hassle.
•
Invest in locks! Not all hostels provide lockers. My
lock and cable allows me to lock my bag to a pole or
bed, making it harder for someone to pinch my bag
while I’m sleeping.
•
Read the fine print! Your hearing aids or cochlear
implant may not be covered by travel or home
insurance, even if you mention them specially. Don’t
expect the call centre to know the fine print. Read it
yourself.
•
Volunteer! Organisations for deaf people can benefit
from your help. Sometimes it’s in an official volunteer
capacity. Other times it’s just by visiting as yourself to
show how deaf people can, and do anything.
•
Submit a video for
www.deafplanet.
com.au! Guidelines are
available onsite, and if
you’ve never made or
edited a video before,
don’t worry. I’ll help
out!
Travel is fun and it helps
you gain independence.
So get out there.
Explore!

SLC VIC – Different name, same interpreting service
Vicdeaf wants to let you know that names have
changed, but you will still get the same, high quality
interpreting service from us.
•
we don’t make a profit – any fees that are received
to cover the costs of running the service are
returned to other Vicdeaf services and activities;
We’re now called “Sign Language Communications
Victoria (SLC VIC)” and we are the Vicdeaf department
that books Auslan interpreters. We have a different name,
but we still have the same history. This history has seen
how Vicdeaf and interpreters have changed with the times.
•
we provide free interpreting for funerals – whether it
is family, a friend or a work mate;
•
SLC VIC also provides sponsorship opportunities to
the deaf community
Over the past five years, our interpreting service
has grown and we have worked hard to meet those
demands. Each year, we are able to book an interpreter
for 96% of the jobs we have booked with us. In 2004/5
financial year the total number of hours of interpreter
bookings we had was 9,700. So far for the 2009/10 year,
we have had 13,000 hours. That means our service has
grown by more than one third in five years.
Why did we change our name?
The Deaf Societies in each state have always worked
together and are individual organisations. However,
in 2009 they decided to bring all of their interpreting
services together and use one name. Working together
creates better opportunities and means we can work
across Australia as well as working in Victoria.
Our service is about providing a quality interpreting
to our customers (Deaf and hearing). Sometimes,
part of providing that quality service means we work
to increase the number of interpreters available and
develop the skills of interpreters. We have supported
interpreters with professional development, mentoring
and scholarships to work towards a higher level of
interpreter accreditation.
Our plan for 2010 - 2015 includes:
• increasing access to interpreters through Video
Relay technology;
•
continuing to provide
a high standard
of professional
development to
interpreters in an
effort to expand the
pool of highly-skilled
interpreters;
•
continuing to provide
quality interpreting
services in Victoria and
Tasmania.
In Victoria there are a few different interpreting
agencies. Some people ask, “Why should I use SLC
VIC?” There are many good reasons:
•
we have been providing interpreting services to
the deaf community longer than anyone else which
means we are the most experienced;
•
we have the biggest number of highly skilled
interpreters in Victoria;
Car parking changes outside Vicdeaf East
Melbourne
The City of Melbourne council have made changes to
Albert Street, East Melbourne. They have installed new
bike lanes designed to improve safety for all road users
by separating motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
The lanes are arranged differently so it may take a while
for everyone to get used to them, especially motorists
as they will have to park their car differently to what they
were used to.
1. When parking your car, make sure you park in the
allocated parking lane, never park on the bike lane.
2. When leaving your car, be careful and watch for
bikes as you cross the bike lane to the footpath.
3. Always obey the parking signs, especially the
clearway restrictions.

It is hard to believe that the Ballarat Deaf Social Club Inc.
(BDSC) club turned 36 on the night of the 10th Starlight Ball
at Mercure in Ballarat. Everyone talked, caught up with old
friends, sharing family news and photos and danced away
with the “Mad Cow” Band throughout the night. The Ball was
enjoyed by everyone who came from as far as America, New
South Wales, South Australia and all over Victoria.
Thirteen certificates were presented to Geoffrey Arnold,
Evelyn Boyle, Glenice Brown, Eddie Ding, Jennifer Ding,
Joseph Heenan, Barry Hobson, James Kinnersly, Guy
Lampard, Maria Lampard, Greg O’Donnell, Marjorie
O’Donnell and Marg van Leeuwen for attending every
Starlight Ball since 1991. Congratulations.

with a white candle with silver glitter to represent the years
they served: 1991 Lisa Taylor, 1993 Sharon Eastman, 1995

Eastman, 2001 Paul Bourke, 2004 Lisa Taylor, 2006 Heather
Bourke, 2008 Marnie Kerridge and 2010 the current president
Marjorie O’Donnell. Rum balls were made especially for the
birthday celebrations and they were placed in the shape of
number 10 on the blue star-patterned board.

Ten door prizes were given away plus a gift to the first ticket
buyer for the Starlight Ball. A photo display was shown of the

Public Relations Report
Smoke Alarm
‘Run Melbourne’ was held on Sunday
18 July in Melbourne and Vicdeaf had
seven runners in various categories. I
managed to catch up with Amy and
Brad before their run, but I couldn’t
find them afterwards. There were
thousands of people at the finish line;
some still running, some walking, and
some hobbling. We are grateful to
those who donated their time and
raised almost $800 to support the
work of Vicdeaf.
Are you Eligible for the Smoke
Alarm Subsidy Initiative?
I took photos of Amy and Brad in
their Vicdeaf singlets, and I waved off
everyone at the start line, including
Sam Lane from Channel 10’s ‘Before
the Game’. She was happy to support
us too, by holding our sign! It was
a great day and it was wonderful to
have a team representing Vicdeaf,
including one of our Board members.
We are also involved in two other
important activities at the moment.
We are trialling a new awareness
raising program called ‘Don’t Lose
the Music’. You may know that name
from the Royal National Institute
for Deaf People (RNID) in the UK.
They have granted permission
for Vicdeaf to use the name and
conduct activities in schools and
workplaces. The program relates to
creating awareness about hearing
loss. When the program ends later in
the year, we will provide a report to
Communicate.
The other activity is a ‘Major Gifts’
program where we are seeking to
raise funds to provide new services
and renovations to the Vicdeaf
building at 340 Albert Street. This is
also a trial, or a feasibility study where
we interview interested people to get
their advice on our proposals.
If you have any comments on these
trials please contact me through
Vicdeaf and I would be happy to
meet with you.

Community Relations and
Development
