Native language speakers wanted

We have a number of casual opportunities available for people who want to work in test settings. You can register your interest online here.

Native speakers of German, Greek and Turkish are needed in all states for upcoming tests, & Italian and Arabic in Adelaide. We are seeking Auslan signers(not interpreters) for QLD, SA and WA.

If you are an Auslan interpreter and want to assist with Auslan tests,
email: roleplayers@NAATI.com.au directly.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with your community.
