We invent our own rules
About Convo Australia
Convo Australia was established in April 2021 as part of the Convo Global family, with the goal of bringing a new choice for Deaf and hard of hearing Australians to get access to Auslan interpreting services anytime, anywhere.
As a Deaf-owned company, our understanding of human connection is different from most. In a rapidly-advancing world, technology is often developed on the basis of spoken language. We offer a different perspective: sign-centric communication solutions that just feel right.
Convo Australia acknowledges and respects the members of the deaf community in Australia, who preserve their rich heritage, culture and our sign language, Auslan. We also acknowledge our custodians of Auslan, promoting awareness, equality and access through our sign language. Through Auslan, we inspire future leaders in our deaf community to continue our legacy and heritage.
Convo Australia acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and as the Traditional Custodians of the Country and their connections to land, sea and community where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
