Need a Interpreter for Diabetes Support?
A FREE telephone interpreter service is available for people who may have difficulty speaking English, to communicate with staff at
Australian Diabetes Council.
This service is available through the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) of the
Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
TIS have access to professional interpreters in almost 2000 languages and dialects and can respond immediately to most requests.
HOW TO ACCESS AN INTERPRETER:
1. Dial 131 450 for the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS).
2. Explain the purpose for the call e.g. you are wanting to talk to an:
• educator
• dietitian or
• to someone about exercise
at Australian Diabetes Council
3. The operator will connect you to an interpreter in the required
language and to a Australian Diabetes Council health professional
for a three-way conversation.

MAKING HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES
Produced by Australian Diabetes Council and NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service, these resources have been developed especially for people from non-English speaking backgrounds and low literacy levels.
The pictorial guides show photographs and images of hundreds of foods to help you, or a health professional, educate people with diabetes on healthy eating.
Each pictorial guide contains foods that are culturally specific and the English translation is written on the same page.
