S3E3: The value of engaging professional interpreters

Being able to understand and be understood is a fundamental human right and with over 20% of Australian households speaking a language other than English, professional interpreters are essential in the provision of this right for culturally diverse communities.

Join Jenny Hazlewood from ECCQ’s Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care Program and Diana Padilla from the Language Services Team at Metro North Health as they discuss the need for engaging professional interpreters in the health and aged care setting.

They explore some of the implications of using people to interpret that aren’t professional interpreters, discuss some of the different resources that are available and share strategies for planning and holding an effective interpreting session.

Thank you to the guests and organisations that contributed to this episode.
