The Awards are open to all T&I practitioners or teams of practitioners with NAATI Accreditation or equivalent qualifications, or recognition where testing is not available, language service providers and organisations/individuals that are part of or connected to the T&I industry who have their primary residence in Australia and are not office bearers of AUSIT or related to judges.
Individuals or organisations who are nominated or who enter do not have to be members of AUSIT, however, a history of constructive relations with AUSIT and the language profession in general is desirable. (AUSIT members obtain entry fee discounts). To find out about joining AUSIT: click

Direct entries are possible for all categories – this means that to enter, all you need to do is download the relevant Kit (see below) and prepare your submission according to the instructions. AUSIT also encourages practitioners, organisations, users of services, etc to nominate interpreters, translators, and organisations who have done excellent work. This is referred to as a third party nomination – a nomination form can be found below which can be filled in and sent to AUSIT. The Excellence Awards Committee then advises the nominee of their nomination and encourages them to prepare an entry.
Any work by current AUSIT office bearers or work performed during a term of office cannot be entered, except in the category “Outstanding contribution to AUSIT”.
