This collaboration between academic linguists, interpreter service providers, health care providers, sign language interpreters, and the Deaf community will improve the recent initiatives to give deaf people equity in their access to health care services. For the first time, deaf people are able to access medical services early and effectively, improving treatment outcomes and, importantly, preventing conditions occurring in the first place or allowing early intervention before they become much more serious and costly to the individual and the community. This project will therefore be of national benefit, as all stakeholders from all over Australia will be able to access the Medical Signbank resource.

学术语言学家、口译服务提供者、卫生保健提供者、手语口译员和聋人社区之间的这种合作将改善最近的举措，使聋人平等地获得卫生保健服务。聋人第一次能够尽早有效地获得医疗服务，改善治疗效果，重要的是，首先预防疾病的发生，或者在疾病变得更加严重并对个人和社区造成更大代价之前进行早期干预。因此，该项目将有利于全国，因为来自澳大利亚各地的所有利益相关者都将能够访问医疗标志库资源。
