The AUSIT National Conference is the focal point in our annual calendar of events, bringing together translation and interpreting practitioners and scholars with industry stakeholders from around Australia and beyond. It provides a dynamic forum for exploring key issues in the field, fostering dialogue among professionals, researchers and educators.

The 2025 Organising Committee looks forward to welcoming delegates to this in-person event. The wide range of opportunities for connection, learning, exchange and growth within the language services industry makes the event quite extraordinary. The theme for this year’s conference is:

Focusing on Engagement:
with government, clients, language communities, colleagues

The conference will focus on the vital role translators and interpreters play in providing both a voice and access to services for individuals and communities who are not fluent in English or the dominant language/s of their host societies. It will offer both presenters and participants the opportunity to discuss issues related to research, professional practice, and the broader impact of translation and interpreting in public settings.

Sub-themes:

Initiatives of engagement by individuals and groups in the T&I profession
Engagement in professional settings/domains
Engagement with community language support organisations
Engagement with educational institutions and academia
