PD Session for Auslan Interpreters - What is RSI/OOS?

Professional Development for Auslan and Deaf Interpreters: What is RSI / OOS?

We use Auslan every day, aware of the physical red flags from overwork. RSI does not always wave those flags. There are many different varieties requiring many different treatments.

This session will cover common interpreter injuries and signs to watch for, treatment options, an overview of the WorkSafe system if you make a claim, and mental well-being if faced with loss of work. Presented by Neil Phipps, with Melbourne Hand Rehab, and first hand accounts from interpreters and their hands.
