Area of Science:

  • Disability studies
  • Sociolinguistics
  • Interpreter training

Background:

  • The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) introduced significant systemic changes in Australian disability services in 2016.
  • Effective communication is crucial for participants from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds accessing NDIS.
  • Interpreters play a vital role in mediating communication within the NDIS framework.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the application of NDIS training by community interpreters.
  • To identify specific linguistic and cultural challenges faced by interpreters in the NDIS context.
  • To understand interpreter perspectives on translating disability concepts across cultures.

Main Methods:

  • Study involved 19 Australian community interpreters who attended an NDIS training workshop.
  • Training included pedagogical and practical segments on NDIS terms and potential challenges.
  • Data collection focused on interpreters' experiences and application of learned skills in NDIS communication.

Main Results:

  • Interpreters encountered difficulties translating NDIS-specific terminology and concepts.
  • Cultural understanding of disability presented a significant barrier in mediated communication.
  • The application of training varied, highlighting a need for ongoing support.

Conclusions:

  • Effective NDIS communication requires addressing cultural interpretations of disability.
  • Interpreter training should incorporate strategies for navigating complex terminology and cultural nuances.
  • Findings inform future professional development for interpreters in evolving health and welfare systems.
