A family of Bhutan migrants are being deported after being told their hearing-impaired son would be a financial burden on Australia and does not meet the country’s migration health requirements.

18-year-old Kinley Wangchuck and his family have been calling Australia “home” since 2012.

Kinley has learned AUSLAN in an effort to communicate, but the language does not translate to Bhutanese and his family say he will struggle to communicate if they are forced to return to the country.
