AUSIT events and webinars

If you have been reading AI-related news you will have heard of things called AI agents. These are large language models that can make you feel like another person is working on your computer.

Have you ever encountered words that have faded from use, terms tied to vanished worlds, and meanings that have transformed over centuries? How do you translate these terms for a modern reader? While literary translation is widely discussed, the vital field of historical translation remains largely unexplored.

Ever wondered how your experience as a community interpreter stacks up against colleagues in other parts of the world? Do interpreters in Canada face the same pressures as those in the UK? Are the pay and working conditions you accept simply your market's normal, or is there a better benchmark out there? Is AI reshaping the profession differently across different markets?

This session examines the ethical relationship between legal interpreters and lawyers in court, tribunal and other litigation settings. It focuses on the JCCD Recommended National Standards for Working with Interpreters in Courts and Tribunals, their background and practical significance, and how those Standards interact with the AUSIT Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct and lawyers' professional conduct obligations.

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.
