We are happy to share a response from the Australian government to the Open Letter sent by RedT and co-signed by The President and Executive Board of IATIS and other international translator and interpreter associations advocating for translators and interpreters at risk.

The Department of Home Affairs now permits interpreters to apply by mail or courier at the Australian embassy in Amman, Jordan instead of  the requirement that interpreters physically travel to out-of-country embassies. Please see the full response below.
