November 2012 AUSIT Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct Table of Contents Introduction Preamble Code of Ethics Code of Conduct: Obligations towards recipients of services Conduct issues specific to translators Conduct issues specific to interpreters 1 Introduction The AUSIT Code of Ethics was first drafted as a by-law in the early 1990s. It was then endorsed in expanded form at the National Annual General Meeting in 1995, and for the next 15 years served AUSIT and the wider profession well. A number of overseas educational institutions and professional bodies used it as a reference or as a model for their own codes. But changes in the translation and interpreting industry mean the requirements of a code of ethics have also changed. In late 2010 AUSIT accepted a proposal from Monash University to set up a joint AUSIT/Monash working group to review the Code of Ethics, with funding for Dr Uldis Ozolins as its leader. After twelve months, when the funding was exhausted, Christian Schmidt took over the reins to bring the project to completion.. At some point during the review process feedback was sought from all AUSIT members and from representatives of all areas of the TI industry. The members of the working group, in alphabetical order, are:: Dr Meredith Bartlett, educator and deaf sign interpreter, former Chair of ASLIA Vic, currently Chair of AUSIT’s VicTas Branch Vesna Boglev, AUSIT member, Manager of Sessional Interpreters, Research and Training at the Health Language Services, South Western Sydney Local Health District Adolfo Gentile, practitioner and founder member of AUSIT, who was Australias first home-grown full professor in TI (Deakin University); former President of FIT and form
