Be aware that a very low quote may indicate poor quality or inaccurate service.Ask for quotes from two to three translators, interpreters, or service providers and ask about availability for your job.Ask for references, particularly for interpreters, or if you need a more complex translation.

Get a recommendation from a friend or colleague who has used the service of a NAATI-certified practitioner before.You don’t need to find a translator in your local area, as most translators will accept translation jobs via email and NAATI credentials are the same everywhere in Australia.If the translation or interpreting assignment is complex, look for a translator or an interpreter who has expertise in the field of the assignment (such as health or legal).Verify their credential by entering their Practitioner Number into our ‘Verify a Credential’ tool on the website homepage.This means they are a practising professional who has met the minimum standards to work in the industry. Look for someone who holds current NAATI certification.
