Drisana promotes the Deaf community as one without borders and one of rich language, culture, history and traditions. Currently self-employed, offering professional services as a motivational speaker, Auslan and accessibility consultant, workplace advocate for companies such as Woolworths, and a columnist for PrimoLIFE Magazine. Drisana is the embodiment of the concept of ‘Deaf gain’, not ‘hearing loss’, inspiring the Deaf community, and encouraging the wider community to accept diversity. Drisana was the first Deaf Auslan user to fulfil her civic duty as a juror, and consistently promotes a positive image of deafness, which states loudly and proudly: “It’s OK to be deaf”.
