The Deaf Perspective: What Deaf Australians Want Interpreters to Know (Part 1)

The Deaf Perspective: What Deaf Australians Want Interpreters to Know

(Part 1 in an ongoing series)

What makes an interpreter truly great?

Join 3 Deaf Australians as they share what they value most in interpreters, including:

✨ What excellent interpreting looks like
✨ Common mistakes interpreters make
✨ How interpreters can make sure Deaf people feel respected, included, and empowered
✨ Giving and receiving feedback
✨ Looking after yourself while keeping Deaf people at the centre of the interaction

At AIMS, we believe that no matter the country or sign language, interpreters face many of the same challenges. Our vision is to build a global community where interpreters can connect, learn, and support one another.
