Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language interpreters are invited to join us online to connect with other interpreters, refresh your skills, and work towards or maintain your certification.
Please RSVP to iip@naati.com.au to sign up for a session and we will send you an invitation, including the link to join.
We also advertise general professional development opportunities on our website here. These are open to translators and interpreters from all languages.
These sessions are designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language interpreters who are working towards achieving their NAATI certification. They are all delivered online. If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming NAATI certified, email us at iip@naati.com.au to ask about which of these opportunities are suitable.

In 2022 we will be looking for opportunities to provide testing online via video where possible.
