About ATIS

For over 20 years, our translations have been have helped Spanish speaking migrants settle in Australia and provided the tools for Australians to forge links with Spain and Latin America. Yet our services have had a truly global impact. To our delight and surprise, our translations have travelled to every continent except Antarctica.
We have provided translation, interpreting and other Spanish <> English language services to individuals, companies, charities, educational institutions and governmental departments and agencies. ATIS is duly registered in the State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia under the Business Names Act 1962 section 7 (4) and (5) and the Australian Business Register respectively.

Our translators are NAATI accredited, professional level (formally level 3) or higher (Advanced and Senior levels) and members of the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators Inc. (AUSIT). In Australia, NAATI accreditation is the only qualification officially accepted for the profession of translation and interpreting. ATIS regards NAATI accreditation at the Translator and Interpreter level as the appropriate minimum professional requirement for appointment to Translators and/or Interpreter positions, a view shared by many government authorities. Our Mission Our mission is to uphold the highest professional ethics in our language services and provide cost-effective products and services of the highest quality to individuals and organisations dealing with foreign languages. Our Vision Our Vision is that language should not be a barrier to success. We believe translators and interpreters are social equalisers enabling opportunities (e.g. education, employment, health care) to CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) communities which they would otherwise not be able a access. |
A warning to those seeking official/certified NAATI translations
At ATIS, all our translators are fully accredited by NAATI, hence our translations are official/certified. However some translation agencies, freelancers and even governmental bodies do not employ translators accredited by NAATI and translations by non-accredited translators are not official nor certified. Employers and clients should be cautioned that public and private agencies do not always use accredited practitioners. Similarly self-employed practitioners may not always be accredited.
