National Campaigns

Throughout the year, we lead and support national campaigns that raise awareness about hearing health, accessibility, and inclusion across Aotearoa. These initiatives bring communities, organisations, and individuals together to learn, share knowledge, and take meaningful action.

From Hearing Awareness Month and World Hearing Day to New Zealand Sign Language Week and advocacy for a National Hearing Health Strategy, each campaign helps highlight the importance of communication, connection, and equitable access for Deaf and hard of hearing people.

This page is updated as new campaigns and initiatives emerge, so you can stay informed about the latest ways to learn, participate, and support positive change.
