Ask for an interpreter
You may need an interpreter when:
- you want to ask us questions about your case or our processes
- we have asked you to take part in a hearing, conference or other meeting about your case.
For a hearing or conference
If English is not your first language and you have been asked to take part in a hearing or conference at the Tribunal, you can ask us to arrange an interpreter for you. We will pay for the interpreter.
Please read the instructions in any letter or email we send you and then tell us if you need an interpreter before the day of the hearing or conference.
You can’t ask a relative or friend to interpret for you at a hearing or conference.
Contacting us
For the cost of a local phone call, you can use the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) to speak with us in your language.

- your language
- our name (the Administrative Review Tribunal)

Translate text on this website
Our website has a tool that can help translate information into several languages. Most internet browsers also have settings to help you read text in your language.
Important information
Any text you translate using an automatic tool has not been translated by a person so it may not be accurate. You should get more help if you need to rely on the translated information for legal reasons.
When you use the tool on our website, provided through a company called ReadSpeaker, the text is translated using software powered by Google Translate. Reasonable efforts are made to provide an accurate translation, however, no automated translation is perfect nor is it intended to replace human translators. Translations are provided as a service to users of this website, and are provided ‘as is’. No warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, is made as to the accuracy, reliability, or correctness. Neither ReadSpeaker nor the Administrative Review Tribunal is in any way responsible for the translation.
