Ethnic Interpreters and Translators is a privately owned, community-oriented service organisation, established to support all forms of communication with those from Non-English Speaking Backgrounds (NESB) in Australia.

As the provider of interpretation, translation, transcription and AUSLAN services, Ethnic is the bridge between 2 parties who seek to communicate, connect and understand.

This is a role that Ethnic is proud to play in bringing people together through communication in one form or another. And we’ve been providing this service Australia-wide for over 20 years, taking our place in this multicultural, multilingual community.

 Ethnic offers its clients the following advantages

Value for money

Ethnic’s services are competitively priced, providing cost efficiencies without compromising on accuracy or quality.

Premium language services

In addition to the wide range of languages from Europe, Central and South East Asia, Africa, languages and dialects of the sub-continent; we also have fully accredited specialists proficient in the rarest of dialects.

Australia-wide service

Ethnic’s large workforce database and offices can provide interpretation and translation services to metropolitan, regional and remote areas across Australia, and also service international locations.

Cross-cultural knowledge

Through personal experience, training, and exposure, Ethnic’s interpreters and translators can bridge the gap between Australian agencies and the wider community by assisting with overcoming language and cultural barriers.

 Responsive customer service

Ethnic’s staff is available to receive client bookings and provide prompt, courteous and responsive service. Our website online booking request and account holders’ online login system provides an easy platform for customers to submit their requests and receive automated confirmation once booking is confirmed.

Ethnic’s translation and interpreting services are built on our extensive experience; however, we are flexible and cater for different delivery models dependent on our clients’ requirements. Through our experience of working with staff from different backgrounds, generations and industry cultures we appreciate that every client is unique. We understand that our programs and associated communication need to allow for this diversity, and we have the ability to cater for all requirements.
