Professionally qualified translators and interpreters may apply to NAATI for accreditation. Accreditation on the basis of overseas qualifications is the responsibility of NAATI's specialist advisory committee called the Qualifications and Assessment and Advisory Committee (QAAC). Translators and interpreters resident both in Australia and overseas may apply directly to NAATI. It should be noted that only those who can show that they are eligible for NAATI accreditation at the minimum level of Translator will meet the skill level required for the points awarded by the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) for migration purposes. If your qualifications are acceptable for migration purposes, this does not guarantee you employment in the field of translating or interpreting. That will depend on other factors, such as the number of vacancies or your suitability for a particular job.
