Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)

Live Auslan interpreting through video, anytime, anywhere.

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) offers an accessible and convenient way for Deaf and hearing people to communicate when face-to-face interpreting isn’t possible.

 

Our qualified Auslan interpreters work through secure, reliable video platforms to deliver real-time interpreting between Deaf and hearing participants. Whether it’s for a quick appointment, meeting, or ongoing sessions, VRI is ideal for flexible, on-demand access to communication support at home, in the office, or on the go.

 

VRI is especially useful for:

  • Regional or remote clients
  • Urgent or last-minute bookings
  • Short appointments where travel isn’t practical
  • Health, legal, education, and workplace settings

 

You’ll just need a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. We’ll take care of the rest.
