Telephone interpreters
If you are more comfortable having a conversation in a language other than English, you can use the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS).
TIS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is accessible from anywhere in Australia for the cost of a local call on 131 450. TIS can translate in more than 100 languages.
When you call TIS, an operator will ask you what language you need. Tell the operator in English the language you speak.
The operator will then connect you with an interpreter who speaks your language.
You may need to wait on the line for the interpreter, or the operator may need to call you back when an interpreter is available.
Once you are speaking with the interpreter, explain to them that you would like to contact Carer Gateway on 1800 422 737 and the interpreter will call for you. Once Carer Gateway answers the phone, the interpreter will interpret your conversation.
National Relay Service
If you are deaf and/or find it hard hearing or speaking with people who use a phone, the National Relay Service (NRS) can help you.
- Anyone who uses NRS to make calls, needs to register as an NRS user. You can do this by visiting the website National Relay Service
- Except for calls made through Video Relay, the NRS is available 24 Hours a day, every day. To make a relay call through the NRS all you need to do is contact the NRS and ask for the number you want to call: NRS call numbers
A call through the NRS lets you communicate with a hearing person who is using a phone even if you can't hear or don't use your voice. The NRS has specially trained staff called Relay Officers who help with every call. Depending on the type of call, a Relay Officer will change voice to text or text to voice and AUSLAN to English or English to AUSLAN. Relay officers stay on the line throughout each call to help it go smoothly, but don't change or get in the way of what is being said. Depending on your hearing and speech, and equipment you have, you can choose from one or more relay call types.
