Welcome Guide for interpreters

Overview: A Welcome Guide has been created as resource for newly appointed court interpreters. Existing interpreters may also find the content in this document useful.

 
The Welcome Guide will provide you with everything you need to know to help you prepare for interpreting in courts and tribunals. It sets out:

  • how to familiarise yourself with court and tribunals interpreting before you first come to court
  • what to do when you are contacted for a booking
  • what to do when you come to court
  • how to get paid
  • brief information on the types of courts and tribunals you may work in
  • other information such as updating your contact details and what we will do if there is a complaint

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact interpreters@jutsice.govt.nz

If you have any questions when you are at court or tribunal, you should raise these with the Court Registry Officer (CRO) at the main service counter or the Court Manager.
