Registration and Skills
Aboriginal Interpreters are registered with AIWA and are recognised for their cultural competence, language skills and application of cultural protocols. Registration is endorsed by AIWA’s Board of Directors who are all Senior Interpreters and cultural leaders.
Complementing this registration AIWA Interpreters receive training that ultimately results in the Diploma of Interpreting qualification. A focus of the work and training that occurs for AIWA Interpreters is the profession’s National Standard AUSIT Code of Ethics, that is applied to all the work AIWA undertakes.

Aboriginal languages are complex and diverse throughout Australia and one Aboriginal language speaker may not understand the dialect of another even though they geographically live in the same state. The nuances of Aboriginal language structure and use and the cultural competence that aligns with this, forms the foundation of registration as an Aboriginal interpreter with AIWA.
