This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to informally convey information between Auslan signers and English speakers in both directions.

It requires the ability to convey a summary of original communications in informal and unplanned situations where Auslan and English users interact. It also requires the ability to explain information recorded in Auslan and English.

Completing this unit will not provide the skills to work as an Auslan interpreter. It applies to individuals who are both proficient users of Auslan and English and who are called upon to informally bridge a communication gap.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
