The current AUSIT QLD branch would like to extend their welcome to any colleagues who are interested in joining the committee. Some of our committee members are ending their terms and we are seeking new committee members.

We have the Communications Officer position open for the coming year. Newcomers to these roles can be assured that they will have the full support of the outgoing position holder and the entire committee.

If you feel you’d prefer to not have such an active role, it is possible to join the committee without being allocated a position. Becoming a committee member requires you to attend a 90-minute meeting once a month, give your opinion where you see fit, engage in projects undertaken by the Committee, and provide a hand here and there with organising events. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the T/I profession, or a seasoned professional, all voices are valid and valued!

Some of the benefits of being part of the committee are:

• Increased awareness of inner workings of the industry
• First-hand ability to make a difference to the T/I profession
• Develop new professional relationships and contacts
• Reduce the isolation associated with our profession
• Be recognised amongst your peers and employers as someone who is actively engaged with the industry
• Gain greater professional recognition
• Allocation of PD points for your participation in the committee
• We're a friendly and lively bunch of people, and we can't wait to welcome you! By joining us, you'll get many amazing benefits.

If you have any questions about what is it like to be on the committee, please contact us at qld@ausit.org.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn more about our profession and the work of your Branch Committee over the past 12 months and to have a say in its future. For additional information or any queries, please contact the branch at qld@ausit.org.

AUSIT NAT Presents Getting Ready for the NAATI Certified Translator Exam: Structure, Standards and Preparation Strategies Webinar Via Zoom Thursday 15 October 2026 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM AEDT

Thinking about sitting the NAATI Certified Translator exam? This webinar is designed for translation studies students and certified interpreters looking to make the move into NAATI-certified translation.

We'll walk through how the exam is structured, what the assessment rubrics are actually looking for, and how to prepare effectively. The session focuses on the practical side of getting exam-ready, rather than eligibility or logistics (for details on the online testing format, available language pairs, or prerequisites and pathways, visit the NAATI website).

Whether you're weighing up your next step or already committed to sitting the exam, this webinar will help you understand what's expected and how to prepare with confidence.

A long-term francophile, she has a passion for French that extends to her two teenage sons, who have been brought up in a bilingual environment. Cathlin is also an experienced ESL and French teacher and currently runs her own translation business while working part time in corporate communications.
