The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Interpreter Service help with language barriers faced by Indigenous people in the Northern Territory. They will help in the following ways
• Interpreters help people to talk to and understand each other.
• Interpreters will make sure everything is communicated in both languages.
• Interpreters will keep the message the same. They will not add or take away anything
• Interpreters should not be asked to do non-interpreting work or give opinions.
• Interpreters are bound by a code of ethics which requires impartial, confidential, and accurate interpreting
Interpreters are trained to work in a wide range of settings and environments and they can be encaged in the following circumstances
• health care
• education
