Australian Sign Language Interpreters

In reply to the Hon. I.K. HUNTER (5 December 2018).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): The Department for Human Services has advised:

The department has never funded Auslan interpreters for events.

Carols by Candlelight have confirmed that funds have been secured for two interpreters for the concert. Information is available on their website, with a map indicating the location of a screen to view the service.

The government is proud of its association with the state's largest Christmas concert, and continues to support the event.
