Other Languages Overview

Equal Access

When you want to use our services, Housing NSW will ensure that you are not disadvantaged because of your cultural, or religious background, or if you have difficulty speaking English.

 

Language Services and Assistance

Interpreter services are offered to clients at no cost.

 

Housing NSW has an obligation to provide qualified and trained interpreters when conducting interviews, discussing complex matters, or when dealing with sensitive issues.

 

Family and friends cannot act as interpreters but they can stay with the client and provide support during an interview.

 

Family and friends can only act as an interpreter if staff cannot obtain a qualified telephone or on site interpreter.
