Onsite Interpreting
We communicate face-to-face
Other Services
The difference with Ethnic is that we believe that to speak another language is not only a trans-linguistic process, but also requires an in-depth understanding, knowledge and appreciation of its inherent cultural values. Our interpreters and translators seek to eliminate the communication gap within Australian communities.
​
Ethnic’s expert panel of interpreters and translators, which also includes AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) interpreters, is available for on-site scenarios and group settings.

On-site interpreting FAQs
Q. How much notice do I need to give you before I can have an interpreter on site?
A. To guarantee that we can have an interpreter at the location you need, we usually need 48 hours notice. We can provide a service at short notice, but we do prefer advanced notice where possible.
​
Q. How do you charge?
A. Charges are the same for most common languages, but may vary for rare languages (refer to NAATI non-tested languages). Additional costs may also apply for regional travel, accommodation, request for a free quote.
​
Q. Do you take credit cards and corporate purchase orders?
A. Yes. We accept corporate purchase orders, as well as Visa and Master Card.
​
Q. How about confidentiality?
A. All of our translators and interpreters are contractually bound to maintain strict confidentiality in all projects not a matter of public record. If you have a confidentiality agreement you require, we will, of course, be happy to execute that as well.
