ASLIAQ has a social group for early career interpreters and soon-to-be NAATI certified provisional interpreters, including CPI and CPDI. P-Platers is about peer social support, shared learning and professional networking opportunities.

To acknowledge the importance of mental health, ASLITA will be providing two PDs throughout the Mental Health Awareness week (4th – 11^th October) that are specifically tailored towards the aspects of interpreters and translators’ perspectives, experiences and responsibilities that can differ. Both of these workshops will establish a safe and confidential space for participants so that our presenters can pass on their knowledge to help interpreters look after themselves.

Join Natt Kull and Chevoy Sweeney for a full day Ethics Masterclass in Canberra, after successfully being held in Sydney earlier this year.

How do we ensure our work is truly accessible and meaningful when working with students with language deprivation?

In this expert-led session by Language First, we’ll explore evidence-based strategies to navigate the unique challenges of interpreting for students with language deprivation.

This recorded session will be presented live, allowing us to engage with the content together. Throughout the session, there will be opportunities for discussions, reflection, and practical application of key concepts.

Join us as we explore:

• The impact of language deprivation on learning
• Strategies for adapting interpretations to meet the needs of language-deprived students
• How to recognise and address gaps in language access
• Practical techniques for supporting student engagement and understanding

This session is a must for any educational interpreter working with Deaf students who have experienced delayed or disrupted language acquisition!

Auslan<>English Interpreters will be provided at this event..

ASLITAQ is excited to be partnering with Pine Rivers Community Legal Services part 2 in order to provide a role-play PD where CPDIs, CPIs and CIs can practice interpreting in legal settings. This role-play workshop will help interpreters to unpack legal jargon for scenarios involving Wills and EPOAs. The Advance Health Directive (AHD) document will be available too so that participants can ask our wonderful presenters questions. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
