Association Description |
|
The Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT) is the national association for the translating and interpreting profession. It was founded in 1987, bringing together existing local associations and specialist groups and now has branches in each State and Territory.
AUSIT is a fully independent association, incorporated in the ACT, with an Australia-wide membership that continues to grow steadily. Members of AUSIT are mainly practicing translators and interpreters, but those interested in the support and development of the profession are encouraged to join as well.
With its aim of promoting the highest standards in the profession, AUSIT serves as a meeting place for all those who understand the importance of translation and interpreting to the economy and society, particularly with a globalised economy and the growth of worldwide communications. AUSIT is a primary source of information on these services to government, industry, the media and the general public.
The AUSIT Code of Ethics is recognized as setting standards for the profession.
The Code has been endorsed by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) and other organizations.
AUSIT is a member of the International Federation of Translators (FIT), where it represents the interests of members and takes part in the development of international policies likely to affect the future of the profession, and in initiatives to promote and support translation associations throughout the world (including countries where translators are oppressed or even persecuted for their work). In 1996 hosted FIT’s 14th triennial World Congress at the World Congress Centre in Melbourne.
