Overview
The Victorian Deaf Education Institute is proud to partner with AATD Victoria and the passionate and innovative Educators of the Deaf across Victoria.
In the past 12 months, many of our educators presented at the International Congress on the Education of the Deaf (ICED 2025) in Rome and at the Australia and New Zealand Conference for Educators of the Deaf (ANZCED 2024). Now, we’re excited to bring that brilliance home.
Join us for a Statewide Practice Sharing Day, where we’ll showcase some of these inspiring presentations and foster rich professional dialogue. This is a unique opportunity to connect, share, and grow together as a community of practice.
