What people with Deaf-Blindness in Perth usually need help with
Deaf-blindness is a combined vision and hearing impairment that significantly affects communication, mobility, and access to information, regardless of whether each individual loss is total or partial. NDIS recognises deaf-blindness as a disability requiring highly specialised supports including interveners, orientation and mobility training, and communication support. Participants with dual sensory impairment typically require customised plans that address both conditions together.
For sensory conditions, the strongest local comparison is whether providers can solve practical access issues in the area: communication method fit, travel and orientation support, assistive technology setup, and workers with real sensory-specific skills rather than broad disability branding.
What people usually compare locally
- • Availability of support workers with Auslan, tactile signing, or vision support skills locally
- • Access to assistive technology assessments and specialist sensory services in the area
- • Whether the provider connects with local sensory organisations (Guide Dogs, Deaf services)
- • Experience adapting home environments and daily routines for sensory loss
Services and providers to compare first in Perth
For sensory conditions, compare communication support, orientation and mobility, assistive technology, and sensory-capable support workers first. The strongest providers improve practical access to travel, appointments, community life, and home routines rather than offering generic support hours with little sensory expertise. Use the service links below to pressure-test provider fit, not just to browse every option in the area.

How we rank providers
Rankings in Perth are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in Perth rank above those covering only the broader region.
What does "Trusted" mean? The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

What happens after you request support in Perth
1. Clarify the communication need
Work out whether the main barrier is hearing, vision, or both, and what communication methods or assistive technology the person already uses or wants to learn.
2. Compare sensory-specialist providers
Look for providers whose staff have direct experience with the relevant sensory condition. Compare AT assessment capability, communication skills, and connections to specialist organisations.
3. Test practical fit
Ask whether support workers can communicate in the person's preferred method, how AT setup and training is handled, and whether the provider has worked with similar sensory profiles before.
For NDIS participants with sensory conditions, confirm whether the provider can supply workers with the right communication skills (Auslan, tactile signing), coordinate AT assessments, and connect with specialist sensory organisations.

Understanding Combined Vision and Hearing Impairment (Deaf-Blindness)
Deaf-blindness (also called dual sensory loss) is a combined vision and hearing impairment that significantly limits access to information, communication, and mobility. It affects an estimated 30,000-40,000 Australians, though many cases are undiagnosed. Deaf-blindness does not necessarily mean total loss of both senses; most people have some residual vision or hearing. Causes include Usher syndrome (the most common genetic cause), CHARGE syndrome, rubella, premature birth, and age-related conditions. The impact of combined sensory loss is greater than the sum of its parts: a person who is blind can compensate with hearing, and a person who is deaf can compensate with vision, but when both are affected, the compensatory strategies that work for single sensory loss are no longer available. Communication, orientation, mobility, and access to information all require specialised support approaches that are different from those used for either hearing or vision impairment alone.
How deaf-blindness affects daily life
Deaf-blindness affects every aspect of daily life. Communication may require tactile signing (signing into the person's hands), print on palm, or other specialised methods. Moving around unfamiliar environments is extremely difficult without a trained intervenor or guide. Accessing written and spoken information requires adaptive technology or human assistance. Social isolation is a major risk because the two primary channels for human connection are both compromised. Daily tasks like shopping, cooking, and managing appointments require more time, planning, and support than for people with a single sensory loss. The shortage of practitioners trained in deaf-blindness means finding appropriate support is itself a significant challenge.
What to look for in a provider
Good deaf-blindness providers have staff trained specifically in dual sensory loss, not just deafness or blindness separately. Ask whether their workers can use the person's preferred communication method (tactile Auslan, haptic communication, print on palm), whether they understand the concept of intervenor support (providing environmental information through the person's available senses), and whether they have connections with Able Australia or Senses Australia. Red flags include providers who have no deaf-blind-specific training, who assume the person needs the same support as someone who is only deaf or only blind, or who do not understand the communication fatigue that dual sensory loss creates.
How to access funding
Deaf-blindness is on the NDIS List A when it involves significant combined sensory loss. Diagnostic evidence from an ophthalmologist and audiologist documenting both impairments is the standard pathway. Plans typically include communication support (intervenor services), assistive technology for both senses, daily living support, and community access. Plans are reviewed annually. Specialist support coordination is recommended due to the very specific skill set required and the limited number of providers with genuine deaf-blindness expertise.

Plan size depends on the severity of both sensory impairments, the person's communication method and support needs, and whether daily intervenor support is required. People with total deaf-blindness needing full-time intervenor support will have plans at the higher end.
Intervenor support workers require specialist training and may cost more than standard support worker rates. Braille displays cost $3,000-$10,000+. Tactile communication aids and adapted technology have varying costs.
Figures are indicative and based on the current NDIS Price Guide and published Home Care Package rates. Actual costs depend on your plan, provider, and location.
