Welcome to Auslan Signbank

Signbank is an interactive dictionary of Auslan (Australian Sign Language). Auslan is the language of the deaf community of Australia. Whoever you are; a deaf person, deaf student, sign language interpreter, student of Auslan, or a parent of a deaf child, we invite you all to explore our visual language. Auslan is growing and changing all the time. By using Signbank and providing feedback you can help share and build our language.

Tell us if a sign needs fixing. Does it need a new meaning or keyword? Is the way you make the sign described properly?

Tell us if a sign you know is missing from the dictionary; What does it mean? What does it look like? Deaf people, deaf students, interpreters and teachers are creating and using new signs all the time. Tell us what they are! Tell us if you like them or not! With Signbank you can.
