Relay services and accessibility

• If you are deaf or find it hard to hear or speak with people who use a phone, the National Relay Service (NRS) can help you.
• The NRS lets you communicate with a hearing person who is using a phone even if you can't hear or don't use your voice.
• The NRS has specially trained staff called Relay Officers who help with every call.
• Depending on the type of call, a Relay Officer will change voice to text or text to voice and AUSLAN to English or English to AUSLAN.
• Relay officers stay on the line throughout each call to help it go smoothly, but don't change or get in the way of what is being said.
• Except for calls made through Video Relay, the NRS is available 24-hours a day, every day.
• Depending on your hearing and speech, and the equipment you have, you can choose from one or more relay call types.
