New: Intro Access Membership
Free, Ongoing Access
I’m excited to share that Intro Access Membership is now live on the Challenge Your Auslan website – and it’s free for new signups, for as long as you like.
This new membership tier is designed as a trial run for anyone curious about learning Auslan with us. It offers a genuine taste of how our resource library works, without any pressure to upgrade.
While the Intro Access library is intentionally limited, it still includes 30 carefully selected videos to help new users explore the platform, understand the layout, and experience the style of learning we offer before deciding whether to move to a Lite or Premium membership.
Intro Access includes:
6 Beginner Fingerspelling videos
6 Beginner Short Sentences
6 Fingerspelling videos
6 Story videos
6 Sign Collection videos
These selections allow you to sample different categories, build confidence, and become familiar with how our resources are structured.
And here’s the fun part – once you settle in, you will quickly realise that this is only the surface. Behind the scenes sits a much larger library with many more categories, challenges, and learning pathways waiting to be unlocked.
Intro Access is all about removing barriers, building confidence, and letting learners experience Challenge Your Auslan before taking the next step.

What our Learners say
Resources:
- This is my favourite website to learn Auslan through especially as it has stuff beyond beginner level, which can be hard to find, and it has helped me heaps with supplementing my learning at Diploma of Auslan at TAFE. I feel it has improved my receptive skills a lot especially with fast fingerspelling. There are heaps of different activities such as fingerspelling, numbers, guess the signs as well as lots of stories plus it keeps being updated regularly. It is cool that there are different signers too, to get a variety. For the activities where you submit for marking the feedback is always friendly and helpful. 6 out of 5 stars! Sas. P
- Challenge Your Auslan has been a great support to my formal Auslan studies. Earlier this year, I was struggling with my Auslan receptive skills especially with fingerspelling. However, subscribing to Challenge Your Auslan has provided me with the resources and feedback to help bring my skills up to the required diploma level. There are so many wonderful videos on the Challenge Your Auslan website from fingerspelling and number challenges to conversations and linguistics. Justin has done an excellent job putting together a varied, motivating and effective program. I am so grateful to have discovered Challenge Your Auslan right when I needed it the most. Rachel. M
I’ve been really enjoying Challenge Your Auslan—even though life sometimes gets in the way and I don’t manage to practise every day!
It’s such a great resource for helping me keep up my Auslan and not lose this beautiful language of yours. I’m a bit rusty, but thanks to your program, I feel like I’m getting back on track. You’ve made it possible for people like me to improve again.
I especially love the variety of learning methods you offer, like fingerspelling, storytelling, and more. Alida. C
Tutor sessions:
- Justin is an outstanding Auslan teacher. He is also great company! Each week we meet for coffee and converse about what’s been happening. As we go, he teaches me new signs, answers my questions and gets me to practise previous material. Each week I go away feeling more confident, like I have made fresh progress as well as consolidated my learning. JP
