Auslan Interpreter careers

An Auslan Interpreter plays a crucial role in facilitating communication between Deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals who use Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and those who use spoken English. Their primary responsibility is to accurately interpret spoken English into Auslan and vice versa, ensuring that meaning, tone, and context are preserved to enable effective and meaningful conversations.

Auslan Interpreters work across a variety of settings, including educational institutions, healthcare facilities, legal environments, workplaces, community events, and government services. They must possess strong linguistic skills in both Auslan and English, cultural awareness of Deaf communities, and the ability to remain impartial and confidential while interpreting sensitive information.

Often, these professionals need formal accreditation through the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) to work professionally in this field. Their work is essential in promoting accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunities for Deaf Australians in social, educational, and professional contexts.
