Interpreters and translators: join our pool for injury and disability work
Crescent Care Foundation · NSW-based · Contract (ABN) · Expression of interest

About us
Crescent Care Foundation is a not-for-profit, registered NDIS provider in Western Sydney. We support people with disability and their families, and many of the people we support share our cultures and languages.

About the work
We’re building a team of NAATI-certified interpreters and translators. They’ll support people who have a serious injury from a motor accident, at work or in sport. These people receive care through icare NSW.

We are applying for an icare contract to provide this service. If we win it, work will start from Monday 8 February 2027. Work depends on the contract and on how many bookings come in, so we can’t promise set hours. Register now and you’ll be first in line.

What you’ll do

Interpreting, face-to-face, by phone or by video:

• Interpret conversations about funding decisions, care planning and support entitlements.
• Interpret medical, allied health and rehabilitation appointments.
• Help with return-to-work meetings, reviews and assessments.
• Help people understand letters and fill in forms.
• Take on-demand, pre-booked and after-hours jobs in homes, hospitals and clinics, across Sydney, regional and remote NSW.
