To enquire about participating in an Interpreter Training Program
Training programs for interpreters are available on (1) working in a health setting and (2) working in a mental health setting. The training programs will be increasingly available to interpreters once the new service arrangements are implemented. Queensland Health aims to work with interpreters who have participating in this training as the first option.

Interpreters interested in participating in these programs should contact the relevant Area Health Service Interpreter Quality Officer.
