Working with Interpreters
Designed for health, allied health, higher education, childcare, and community frontline workers in Australia, the Working with Interpreters workshop enables participants to work effectively with an interpreter in the context of domestic and family violence.
During this one-day workshop you will learn how to:
- Develop skills that support you to communicate with women presenting with language barriers,
- Recognise the signs of domestic and family violence,
- Respond to someone experiencing domestic and family violence and
- Use best practice methods to refer people on to the most appropriate support service.

TestImonials
The best aspects of the training were..."the resources, that is; the workbook, videos, stories, presentation and the presenters. (My confidence has increased to) recognise the signs of DFV, being able to respond appropriately and provide appropriate referral services if consented. An excellent course, honestly one of the best I’ve attended. Thank you so much!’
