Interpreter Services

Our practice provides a health service that accommodates a diverse multicultural population including those with disabilities. Patients who do not speak English or who are more proficient in another language have the ability to choose a professional translating service or a translator who may be a family member, friend, or bilingual staff member.

Our practice encourages patients to utilize the free Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) – Doctors Priority Line (1300 131 450) for reasons including quality patient care, confidentiality, risk management, efficiency and effectiveness, impartiality, accuracy, professional conduct, and experience.

A free interpreting service is available for patients who are deaf and use Australian Sign Language (AUSLAN). Contact the National AUSLAN Interpreter Booking and Payment Service (NABS) on 1800 246 945 or visit the NABS website for further information.
