Victorian Council of Deaf People

Victorian Council of Deaf People Inc (VCOD) was established in 1982 as result of an identified need for deaf people to represent deaf people in all areas of public life.
Since that time VCOD has grown to become the peak deaf organisation of deaf people in Victoria. We are now a statewide government-funded organisation, funded through the Department of Human Services and Department of Planning and Community Development.
VCOD is an advocacy and information service provider and is affiliated with Deaf Australia.
The philosophy behind VCOD is that deaf people have an equal right to take part in and have access to all areas of community life and to do so with great pride as deaf individual.
The role of VCOD is to be accountable and responsive to the needs and feelings of deaf people living in Victoria. VCOD achieves this by consulting widely within the deaf and wider hearing communities to provide advocacy, advice, support, and information services.
