At Worldwide Interpreting and Translation, we’re committed to building our network of interpreters, translators and audio visual experts in all languages, so that we can offer our clients an even better service.
At present, we have a database of over 600 independent interpreters and translators nationally in more than 350 languages. If you’d like to join our network, read on for more information.
Who can join the Worldwide Interpreting and Translation network?
We encourage you to join our network if you are:
-
a practicing interpreter or translator
-
currently completing an interpreting or translating training course
-
a speaker of a rare or emerging language
-
an audio visual technician or videographer
-
a multilingual voice-over artist
Do I need to be accredited as an interpreter or translator?
Accreditation is a necessary requirement, but experienced interpreters are welcome.
The majority of our contractors hold NAATI accreditation at a professional level (Level 3 or higher). Where professional level accreditation is not available, we use paraprofessional accreditation (Level 2).
As part of our commitment to providing the highest standard of service available, we also prefer our interpreters and translators to undertake additional courses provided by AUSIT.
What about rare languages?
We recognise that NAATI certification may not be available for many rare and emerging languages. In these cases, accreditation is not required. Instead, we assess applicants based on language proficiency, interpreting or translation experience, and community recognition.
We also welcome applications from speakers of rare languages internationally. This ensures our clients can access services in small or emerging language groups worldwide, while we maintain professional standards through careful screening and training.
What is the working arrangement?
Worldwide Interpreting and Translation engages interpreters , translators and audio visual experts as contractors, so you will need to have an ABN, and be registered for GST, if required.
We offer our contractors:
-
competitive fees and prompt payment

friendly and efficient booking staff
