Free Translating Service
From 1 July 2025, TIS National delivers the Free Translating Service on behalf of the Department of Home Affairs.
The Free Translating Service is for people settling permanently in Australia. It supports their participation in:
- employment
- education
- the community.
Permanent residents and select temporary or provisional visa holders are able to have up to 10 eligible documents translated into English. This applies within the first two years of their eligible visa grant date.
For more information about how to apply, visit TIS National.
TIS National has information about the service in 10 languages.
If you need an interpreter to ask about the Free Translating Service:
