Critical Link 5 will take place in Sydney, Australia, for the first time and will be proudly hosted by the University of Western Sydney.
The Critical Link conference is the only major international conference dedicated to Interpreting in the Community. The local organising committee is pleased to announce the theme of the 2007 Congress as, “Quality in Interpreting: A shared responsibility”.
CL5 aims to generate discussion on such issues as:
• the meaning of quality in interpreting,
• the responsibility for quality interpreting in community settings being shared by all those involved,
• the expectations of all those involved in the interpreted encounter,
• the demands placed on interpreters to provide a quality service.
Interpreters cannot be held solely responsible for achieving quality. All participants in the interaction, the systems under which they
operate (eg. the legal system, the education system, the health system), interpreter agencies and policy makers, need to share
responsibility for quality of interpreting.
It is a basic human right for people, regardless of the language they speak, to be able to communicate in their community and to gain
access to any services available.
We plan to involve practising interpreters, educators, academics, policy makers, lawyers, judges, medical practitioners and many other
professionals who work with interpreters. We expect this will be a landmark event for the profession and hope it will be widely supported.
An exhibition of the latest products and services will be a key element of the conference.
The Venue
The conference and exhibition will be held at the Crowne Plaza, Parramatta. Parramatta, renowned as a thriving, modern city in New South
Wales, is steeped in history having the richest collection of heritage buildings in the country, dating back to the early colonial days.
The city has proudly kept the name bestowed upon it by the Indigenous Burramatta people who traditionally occupied the area at the
head of the Parramatta River.
Parramatta boasts a vibrant multicultural community. Its population combined with its elegant open spaces,
restaurants, churches, historical buildings and shopping malls make it a city ranking high in the list of
Australian places to explore. It is also situated between Sydney city and the magnificent Blue Mountains.
