NAATI考试之职业道德

AUSIT Code of Ethics

The Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators Inc (AUSIT) was founded at a

meeting in Canberra in 1987, convened by the National Accreditation Authority for

Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) to establish a national association of interpreting

and translation professionals in Australia.

Central to the establishment of any profession is the codification of its practices not only

in organisational matters, but also, and crucially, in matters of professional conduct.

Adherence to a Code of Ethics represents an undertaking by the members of a professional association that they can be relied upon to behave according to rules that

protect and respect the interests of their clients as well as those of their fellow members.

The development of the AUSIT Code of Ethics was completed in 1995, when it was

endorsed by NAATI, adopted by AUSIT at the National General Meeting and presented

to the International Federation of Translators at its World Congress in Melbourne in

1996.

In summary, the Code obliges members to:

respect their clients’ rights to privacy and confidentiality

decline to undertake work beyond their competence or accreditation levels

take responsibility for the work of people under their supervision

decline to mix promotional activity for clients with interpreting or translation work

guard against misuse of inside information for personal gain

guard against encroaching on the work of co-members

maintain professional detachment, impartiality and objectivity

refer to arbitration by the National Council of any dispute with other members and to

accept the Council decision as binding.

The development of the rules embodied in the Code has been a serious and painstaking

undertaking, but its effectiveness is attested to by the fact that, apart from the NAATI

endorsement, a number of major organisations have sought and been granted the right to

adopt and reproduce it. They include interalia the Commonwealth Government’s Translation and Interpreting Service (TIS), Centrelink Multicultural Services, the

Refugee Review Tribunal.
