The Tasmanian Liberal Government is committed to making sure that all people feel welcome, and we are delivering on our commitment by expanding opportunities for those wishing to accredit as interpreters.
Interpreters play an essential part in delivering government services to people who require language assistance, and our Tasmanian Interpreter Training Scholarship Program is designed to increase the supply and quality of credentialed interpreters, particularly in languages in demand.
Jointly funded with the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters, the scholarships valued at $1000 each will help local interpreters and bi-cultural workers enrol in an online training program through RMIT University.

INDIANAPOLIS Getting more people vaccinated is a top priority for Marion County.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said he d like to see 50 percent of Marion County residents fully vaccinated by July 4, which would allow further easing of COVID restrictions.
But the county has a ways to go. As of this week, just a third of residents had their shots, with non-white and non-English speaking residents especially reluctant to roll up their sleeves. The biggest obstacles? Language barriers and trust, according to Jackie Rodriguez with the Immigrant Welcome Center. A lot of our communities have a tendency not to trust government or officials based on their lived experiences, Rodriguez said. The other issue is language access. If the information is not available in their own language, they have a harder time understanding what s going on and what resources are available to them.
