Updated on 12 January 2017

Auslan interpreters!

As you will be aware, the Central Auslan Booking Service (CABS) is government funded to provide a free booking service for TAFEs and other registered training organisations (RTOs) across Victoria. As CABS does not directly employ interpreters, interpreters are required to complete an induction and any employment-related paperwork with the relevant RTO directly.

To assist this process each year, CABS organises an interpreter induction. This is an opportunity for interpreters to meet DLOs, ask any questions about work arrangements and complete relevant paperwork. For newer interpreters, it is also the chance to network and discuss educational interpreting in general.

How induction is organised varies from year to year as the casual employment practices of RTOs change.

A link to the online registration process for all casual employees is coming soon!

  • Once Chisholm receives an expression of interest for casual employment, a contract will be created which will be emailed to the interpreter.
  • Once the interpreter accepts the contract, they are considered to be employed by Chisholm.
  • The Chisholm HR department will email the list of interpreters employed by Chisholm to the DLO.
  • Chisholm’s DLO will send all bookings to CABS (priority will be given to those who have completed a contract).
