Translators and Interpreters Wanted!

 

 

The Goldfields Aboriginal Language Centre (GALCAC) runs the Aboriginal Goldfields interpreting and translating service for the Goldfields region. Currently there are several people who hold interpreting qualifications.

Interpreters are needed for court appearances, hospitals and aged care, police, prisons, Centrelink and a wide variety of other services. Translating work on documents, posters, films, documentaries and a wide variety of material is also undertaken.

People interested in training and qualifying as an interpreter must:

  1. Fluently speak a Goldfields Aboriginal language as a first language.
  2. Understand and speak English to a high level.
  3. Undertake interpreter training with GALC.
  4. Undertake assessment with the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters.
  5. Be available for interpreting jobs.

High level literacy skills are NOT necessary, though are preferred.

Interpreters may live in remote locations, communities and stations. The work will mostly be undertaken over the phone or via video teleconferencing.

Interpreters are paid a national award fee for interpreting or translating.

Interpreters may hold other jobs and be available for interpreting work after hours or with approved leave.
