AUSIT is committed to quality in translating and interpreting, and therefore encourages professional practice that is informed by empirical research. For this purpose, the National Council has approved a Research Project Grant scheme (ARPG), subject to funding approval in each year’s budget. The aim of the scheme is to fund or otherwise support applied research that can be used to inform and improve our members’ professional practice.
The fund can be used either towards a standalone project, or as part of an Australian Research Council Linkage grant in which AUSIT becomes a Linkage Partner. The maximum amount of the Research Project Grant, on the years when funding is available, is $5,000.
If you believe you meet the requirements, please fill out the application form and send it to pd@ausit.org. Applications for the AUSIT Research Project Grant will be accepted in the period 1 January to 31 July (inclusive) each year.
Researchers who wish to address AUSIT members for the purpose of conducting research must familiarise themselves with AUSIT’s Call for Research Participants protocol and require prior approval by the Educational Affiliates’ Committee as described in the below document.

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.
