We need the Government to ensure that any information about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic including all government campaigns are being translated and interpreted by qualified, credentialed professionals.
Why is this important?
Right now all of Australia is concerned about containing the COVID-19 coronavirus and we need to make sure everyone has access to the necessary information.
For our CALD communities, which includes the Deaf community, this means accurate translation and interpretation of information about the Coronavirus. It’s their right to know how to keep themselves safe. And it’s everyone’s safety too. If they’re denied access to information, they may – through no fault of their own – contribute to the spread of the virus.
