Hi

I would like to see all Deaf people in Victoria and even in Australia to have access of any 
cinemas with subtitles (closed caption) and any time of the day to see the any movies access 
like any other hearing people do. Why not for Deaf people. I found that the cinemas  in 
Melbourne only shown 3 times a week for same movies and only certain time, I find that hard to 
go due to family commitments and those limit times not suitable for me and even my deaf 
friends too. It’s not fair for any Deaf people goes through this compared to hearing people. They 
can go anytime and any day and any cinemas and any movies why not Deaf people have the 
equal access as hearing people do. 
There are so many times I have always wanted to take my hearing kids to the cinema but couldn’t 
share my experiences with them or communicate with them as there is no subtitles it to 
understand the movies story. I would love to have the subtitles shown at any day and times and 
any movies and any places so that I can have the choices and even Deaf people to have more 
choices to choose. To have the subtitles on movies I would be more freedom and more happy 
to go anytime with my kids to the movies and communicate with them about it. Its very important 
to Deaf people.

Please Please Please reconsider this serious matters toward the Deaf people in Australia who 
needed to have equally access of subtitles to any movies and any places and any day and any 
time like the hearing people to have the equally enjoyment as them.

I shall look forward to hear this agreement to have the access of subtitles in any Australia 
cinemas for Australian Deaf people.

Thank you
