We're excited to announce that All Graduates has been awarded a contract with the Department of Education, Victoria to provide onsite (face-to-face), telephone and video interpreting as well as translation services.

Starting from 1 January 2025, our services will be available across all Victorian Government department funded kindergartens, eligible early childhood support services, primary schools and secondary schools.

The Department of Education aims to provide every student in Victoria with equal access to high-quality public education. Their vision is to enhance student experiences and wellbeing and provide educators with the resources needed to guide young people. To support this, schools must offer interpreting and translation services to parents and carers who have limited or no English language skills to communicate key information about their child’s education.

If you are interested in providing your interpreting and/or translating services, we encourage you to get in touch with our team to discuss how you can commence preparations.

We look forward to supporting the language and communications needs of our Victorian schools and their families.

We remain committed to supporting the rollout of NAATI Certification in Aotearoa New Zealand in collaboration with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, NAATI, NZSTI, Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT) and AUT.
