Would you like to become an interpreter? NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) is calling for community

interpreters to apply as soon as possible for the 2013 round of its New Interpreters Project.

The WA workshops will be held in Perth on 11, 12, 18 and 19 February 2013 and aim to increase the number of NAATI accredited and recognised interpreters in ‘new and emerging’ languages in Australia.

The workshops also aim to assist existing community interpreters to gain NAATI Accreditation or Recognition, or to upgrade an existing accreditation for languages of need.

Funding for participants includes a preparatory workshop and the fees associated with applying to NAATI including:

· recognition as an interpreter

· paraprofessional interpreter accreditation testing.

NAATI delivers a 15-hour workshop as part of this project. Applicants must complete all 15 hours and satisfy the normal eligibility criteria.

For more information and a list of target languages for the project, visit the NAATI websitehttp://www.naati.com.au or contact the NAATI WA office on 9472 3588.

Applications close mid-January 2013 but applicants are encouraged to register as soon as possible.

Places are strictly limited. Please contact the NAATI office for full details.Requests to participate will not be accepted unless all relevant paperwork is completed in full and all required documentation is attached.

The New Interpreters Project is administered by NAATI on behalf of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

Indian High Commissioner in Perth The High Commissioner of the Republic of India to the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia visited Perth in early December and a representation from the HSWA committee welcomed them to Perth at a meeting organised by the Indian Society. He was also joined by his wife and the heads of association of

various Indian communities.

Kaveesh attended on behalf of Hindi Samaj and updated the High Commissioner with the efforts Hindi Samaj is putting to keep Hindi alive among young and old. Mr. Biren and his wife appreciated the work we

are doing through Paathshaala.

Mr. M Subbarayudu also attended the meeting with his wife and appreciated Hindi Samaj’s efforts.
