Our Portfolio & Testimonials

Our professional translators have a breadth of experience across many sectors with projects delivered for the following clients.

“We’ve been working with EthnoLink since 2016 to improve the accessibility of information for CALD Australians.
Our work has helped the CALD community engage with the Federal Government in order to develop legislation using co-design as the basis, giving a real voice to CALD Australians living with disability.
Working with the team at EthnoLink is a pleasure. They take the time to understand our project objectives and tailor their translation services appropriately to ensure that our project outcomes are exceeded. The team are responsive, easy to work with and flexible.
We have run several forums with our members whereby we have ‘tested’ the translations delivered and overwhelmingly, the feedback has been excellent.“

Dwayne Cranfield, CEO, National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA)

Case Study:
Jean Hailes

Jean Hailes is a one of Australia’s leading and most trusted women’s health organisations.

Jean Hailes was in the process of producing health promotion material and needed a trusted partner to assist with their CALD engagement strategy.

The team at EthnoLink spoke at length with Jean Hailes to understand their needs and tailored an approach accordingly.

EthnoLink was able to recommend languages for translation tailored for the campaign.

The translations were well received and are publicly available on the Jean Hailes website.

Our Bespoke Approach

We have a wide range of experience in handling culturally-appropriate translation services for culturally and linguistically diverse communities. From brochures, flyers, online forms, websites and other communications materials, we have the tools, and access to the right professional translators to ensure that your community translations are accurate, high-quality, and delivered before the deadline.

We work across several Government levels including local, state and federal to provide quality translation services that meet every community’s needs. Get a free quote today and let’s get your community or health translation project.

Did you know…
In 2016, 20.8% of Australians spoke a language other than English at home.

Our Mission

Connection is at the heart of humanity. Language creates a barrier to connection. When Australians can’t access information in their preferred language, the fabric of society slowly begins to erode; connection is lost.

We’re on a mission to make Australia more connected!
We do this through culturally appropriate community translation services.
Join us on this movement; together we can promote harmony.

What is Health Translation?

Translation in the health industry can sometimes mean life and death. As such, accuracy is very crucial. Several materials used in the healthcare industry should be distributed in the language that patients can understand. Insufficient access to information regarding healthcare can affect a service’s quality and may have serious and life-threatening consequences.

EthnoLink has been a partner for Healthcare companies for many years. We’ve provided customised and comprehensive localisation solutions and healthcare translation services. Our team of professional translators understands that every material that patients read should be written in their reading level.

UAU what an amazing service. Asked them to translate my drivers license from Portuguese to English and payed a really good price! Also was told it was going to take 4 days and had it pretty much the next day (and it was a weekend how good is that). Definetely recommend and will use again! Just waiting to receive my hard copy by post in 4 days/7 days. The digital copy also is great and comes with the stamp and certification number etc. Not even sure you would need the hard copy!
