Interpreter Feedback Form on experiences in courts and tribunals

Why fill in this form?

Australia’s Recommended National Standards for Working with Interpreters in Courts and Tribunals (the RNS) provides for interpreters to have a mechanism to give feedback after a court/tribunal assignment (see Optimal Standard No. 4). AUSIT has undertaken to provide this mechanism. 

If you are an interpreter who has completed an assignment in a court/tribunal anywhere in Australia (whether you are AUSIT members or not), AUSIT invites you to give feedback about your experience via the form below.

The data collected via these forms will help us to ascertain the extent to which the RNS is being implemented, and to focus our activities when advocating for greater implementation.

What happens to the feedback submitted?

AUSIT’s Interpreter Feedback on RNS Implementation Committee (I-FRIC) publishes regular reports on the feedback received via these Interpreter Feedback Forms. You can read the latest of these reports here: PERIODIC REPORT No. 3: DECEMBER 2023 – MARCH 2024, and you can read all earlier reports here.

Filling in the form

Please fill out a separate form for each assignment in which – in your opinion – there was something worth reporting with regards to the RNS.

Your information is anonymous, and will be kept confidential. 

There is a feedback box at the end of the form. All feedback is welcome, whether positive or negative.  

If you wish to be contacted by AUSIT’s Interpreter Feedback on RNS Implementation Committee (I-FRIC), you are welcome to leave your contact details in the feedback box, but this is optional.

Thank you in advance!

Submission form

for court interpreters to report incidents or issues that occur in court interpreting assignments.

Purpose and function of this information submission form.

This form enables you to report issues or problems that you encounter in the course of court interpreting assignments. These issues and problems will be collected by AUSIT to report to the JCCD (the Judicial Council on Cultural Diversity) to monitor the implementation of the Recommended National Standards. The reporting of these issues and problems enables AUSIT to work with the JCCD to suggest steps to address these issues and to avoid the repetition of these problems in the future.
