Professional interpreting services across Australia

When clear communication matters most, you need an interpreter you can trust. Our NAATI-certified interpreters work across medical, legal, government, business, and community settings to make sure your message is understood clearly and accurately every time.

We provide face-to-face, telephone, and video interpreting in more than 190 languages. Whether you are in a hospital, courtroom, or remote area, we are here to help. Interlingual supports individuals, businesses, and government organisations across Australia with fast, confidential, and culturally sensitive language services.

The right words can change everything

A missed word in a medical consultation, a misunderstood clause in a legal agreement, or a cultural mistake in a business meeting can lead to serious problems. These are not just small errors. Professional interpreters help ensure clear and accurate communication so this does not happen.

Accuracy you can count on

Our NAATI certified interpreters meet Australia’s national standards. Every interpretation is accurate, complete, and culturally appropriate, not just close enough.

 
 

Strict confidentiality

Everything shared during an interpreting session stays private. Our interpreters follow a strict code of ethics, so your conversations are never recorded, shared, or disclosed.

Available When You Need them

Urgent appointment? Same-day interpreting available for phone and video. Planned sessions can be booked in advance with an interpreter matched to your specific industry.

Cultural Sensitivity, not just Language

Language is only one part of communication. Our interpreters understand the cultural meaning behind the words, helping everyone feel heard, respected, and understood.

Face-to-face interpreting

An interpreter comes to you, ideal for medical appointments, legal proceedings, workplace meetings, and community consultations.

Video interpreting

A face-to-face interpreting experience through video call, ideal for Auslan, sign language, and situations where visual cues and expressions are important.

Simultaneous interpreting

The interpreter works in real time as the speaker talks, delivered through headsets at conferences, summits, and large multilingual events.

Consecutive interpreting

The speaker pauses while the interpreter conveys the message,  ideal for negotiations, interviews, depositions, and smaller formal meetings.

Whispered interpreting

The interpreter sits beside the listener and quietly interprets in real time, suited to small delegations, site visits, and sensitive one-on-one settings.

Most Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an interpreter and a translator?
An interpreter works with spoken or signed language in real time, while a translator works with written documents. If you need someone for an appointment, meeting, hearing or call, you need an interpreter. If you need a certificate, contract or other document converted into another language, you need a translator. Interlingual provides both services across Australia.
NAATI is Australia’s official certifying body for translators and interpreters. A NAATI-certified interpreter has passed rigorous testing in language proficiency, ethics and interpreting skill, and is the standard required by government agencies, courts and hospitals. Every Interlingual interpreter is NAATI-credentialled, including Certified Specialist Health and Legal Interpreters for sensitive settings.

We offer three delivery modes: on-site (face-to-face) interpreting, telephone interpreting, and video remote interpreting (VRI).
On-site interpreting is available for hospitals, courts, government appointments, business meetings and community events.
Telephone interpreting provides fast and cost-effective support for short calls, helplines and remote locations.
Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) offers secure video support via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex or our own platform, and is ideal for telehealth and hybrid meetings. 

Interpreting fees depend on the language, location, duration, mode (on-site, phone or video) and the level of specialisation required (for example medical or legal). Most providers charge per hour with a minimum booking period. For an accurate, no-obligation quote tailored to your assignment, request a free quote and our team will respond the same business day.
We recommend booking at least 3 to 5 business days in advance to guarantee the best interpreter for your matter, particularly for less common languages or specialised settings. For urgent and same-day requests, phone and video interpreting can often be arranged within hours — contact our team and we’ll do everything possible to assist.
Yes. Interlingual provides NAATI Certified Specialist Health Interpreters for hospitals, GP consultations, allied health, mental health and aged-care settings, and Certified Specialist Legal Interpreters for courts, tribunals, police interviews, mediations and law-firm meetings. Our specialists understand the terminology, procedures and sensitivities of each environment.
