This is the one and only Specialised Course in Australia, specifically developed to provide participants with an overview of how the Australian Commonwealth and State Health systems and their agencies, operatew and interact, emphasising the areas in which interpreters are most often engaged. 

The Course provides medical vocabulary development and explores the role of the medical interpreter, ethical, cultural and other issues and barriers to effective interpreting and how to deal with them, modes and techniques of community interpreting in the health system.

The Course provides direct industry input from practitioners and guest speakers, enhancing experiential learning. Participants are equipped with the skills and tools to perform in a professional manner and incorporate the code of conduct in their practice. 

The Course is delivered by accredited experienced practitioners who hold relevant training qualifications and experience. Service sector experts may be engaged as guest presenters to provide participants with added contextual knowledge.
