National interpreter symbol
The National Interpreter Symbol helps people identify where they can ask for language assistance when using a service.
The Interpreter Symbol is a national public information symbol developed as a joint partnership between Australian Commonwealth, state and territory governments. It provides a simple way of indicating where people can ask for language assistance.
You may see the symbol in places that deliver government and community information and services, such as public hospitals, police stations, state schools, community centres, housing and employment offices, local councils, or migrant resource centres.
Using the symbol
You can display the symbol in a variety of settings including:
- Client contact areas (such as a front desk or reception area)
- Public areas (such as corridors and public entrances)
- Name cards or badges to indicate interpreter, language aide or bilingual staff status
- Websites to indicate availability of multilingual services, information or resources
- Client files (e.g. in the form of a tag or sticker) to alert staff that the client requires language assistance.
All government agencies are encouraged to use the symbol and promote it to their staff and clients.
You can download the Interpreter Symbol in JPEG and EPS formats.
