Translation
Translations requests are also made through the Interpreter & NESB Service.
Translations are charged at a rate of $25.00 per 100 English words or part thereof. The Interpreter & NESB Service staff will count the number of English words in the document.
For any translation request we require the following information:
Please send copy to be translated by email, if possible, to rch.interpreters@rch.org.au. This will ensure that the documents to be translated are sent to the translator as soon as possible.

- Name and U/R Number (or Date of Birth) of the patient;

- Whether any part of the document should be on a specific letterhead or other paper;
- Name, contact details and department of the person requesting the translation;
- Where to send the completed translation;
- A clear copy of the document.
The time required to produce the translation depends on the length of the document/s. A minimum of 7-10 working days is usually required for documents up to 2,500 words.
