Consultative workshops conducted in Auslan and English

Public Skills Australia is delivering an important initiative to review and update the Auslan, Interpreting, and Translating Training Qualifications. This critical project aims to ensure these qualifications meet the evolving needs of students, professionals, and all users of Auslan, both now and into the future.

We are inviting key stakeholders, members of the Deaf and Deafblind communities, representatives from Deaf advocacy organisations, industry professionals, and service providers to participate in a Consultative Workshop. This workshop will provide a collaborative environment, bringing together representatives from government and non-government organisations alongside community members.

Together, we will identify challenges within the training and interpreting industry, explore barriers, and uncover opportunities for improvement. Your insights and expertise will play a vital role in shaping meaningful updates to the qualifications, ensuring they address the needs of the community and the professional industry.
