Change on Section 13 of Terms & Conditions

We made a few changes to Section 13 of our Terms & Conditions. This section regards to Certified Translation services provided by our member Cátia Cassiano. Cátia was recently informed that a translator does not need to see the original document to be able to certify its translation. However the translation must have a copy of the original printed in the reserve of the page with the translator stamp and signature.

This has minimal effect on the service provided, but it allows the translator to accept jobs interstate or overseas. 

To read the full document please visit our Terms & Conditions.

Cátia Cassiano a NAATI Certified Translator

Last year NAATI started a process of Certification for its practitioners. NAATI aims increase its high standards in the industry. Only those who meet NAATI's strict requirements would be able to transition into the new Certification Program. There's still some practitioners who hold an accreditation but they won't be listed at NAATI's directory and they won't be able to renew their accreditation. The idea is to phase out accredited translators and have only certified translators in the Association. 

Our Member Cátia Cassiano, who has been a Professional Translator accredited by NAATI since May 2013 has now successfully transitioned into certification and is now a Certified Translator . Cátia has also updated her professional blog In the eyes of a translator, the blog has been hosted at blogspot for some time and Cátia has now moved it into Wordpress.

If you have any queries please fill free to drop her a line.
