Please help me identify this Australian children's TV series

[ByLimeAnt]

It was about a family who lived in a zoo, I think the parents worked there. One of the children was Deaf and they used sign language.

I was born and brought up out of the UK so unsure if it was ever broadcast here. Google hasn't come up with anything.

I believe the Australian children’s TV series you’re remembering is Zoo Family — a live-action show from the mid-1980s about a veterinarian and his family living at the Melbourne Zoo.

Possible scenarios:

1. Zoo Family is very likely the show about a family living in a zoo, but it may not have included a Deaf character or sign language.
2. Or, Zoo Family might have alternately or unofficially introduced an episode or scene featuring a Deaf character—even if that’s not widely documented.
3. Alternatively, your memory might be blending two different shows—perhaps Zoo Family and Sally and the Possum—into one cohesive recollection.
