Please join us to learn more about our State's Aboriginal languages (there are over 50!), what AIWA does and their unique work of providing interpreting services in northern WA.
Biography
Deanne is a leader in the field of interpreting, with 15 years’ experience supporting Aboriginal interpreting in the Kimberley and across WA. Working collaboratively with AIWA directors and the industry across delivery, education, advocacy and policy, she has helped bring the need for Aboriginal language interpreters to the forefront of public policy. Deanne maintains the position that it is a basic human right for people to understand and be understood in their preferred language, whether that is a version of English or a traditional mother tongue.
