I was really interested to receive news of the launch in Australia of the updated Recommended National Standards for Working with Interpreters in Courts and Tribunals.

The Standards establish recommended and optimal practices for Australia’s courts and tribunals for working with interpreters, and are accompanied by Model Rules and a Mode Practice Note.

The launch on Tuesday 26 April 2022 can be attended remotely (or in person). RSVP is required by 13 April.

An eminent panel of speakers will include:

The Hon. Shannon Fentiman – Queensland Attorney-General and Minister for Justice
The Hon. Helen Bowskill – Chief Justice of Queensland
The Hon. Justice Melissa Perry – Federal Court of Australia
Mr. Mark Painting – CEO, National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters
