Interpreter Service
If students require an Interpreter service, we will endeavour to locate the appropriate free service where necessary.
In the event that you need to access an interpreter to assist with your learning or assessment, you may need to contact the TIS National on 131 450 (24 hours a day, seven days a week) or go to the Australian Government Immigration website.
Where an interpreter is accessed, and costs are not covered by government funding, the participant will be required to incur the cost.
