What is a NAATI Certified Specialist Health Interpreter (CSHI)?

NAATI Certified Specialist Health Interpreters (CSHIs) are the highest level of NAATI certified interpreters working in the health domain. They are highly skilled and experienced interpreters who have demonstrated their expertise in interpreting complex medical concepts and terminology. CSHIs are also familiar with the Australian healthcare system and the role of an interpreter in healthcare settings.

CSHIs play an important role in ensuring that people from all backgrounds have access to quality healthcare. They work in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and medical research facilities. They may also be called upon to interpret in emergency situations, such as car accidents and natural disasters.
