Communication Rights Australia (CAUS) has a new service Edited on 19 August 2007

Communication Support Workers service (CSW) is now fully operational with five trained staff waiting to be utilised by people who experience communication or speech difficulties.

People can use this service for meetings, doctor or legal appointments or at schools / TAFE. The model is similar to that of deaf interpreters with clearly defined roles for CSWs. Payment for the service is covered by the organisation booking the service not the individual who requires the person to relay a message.

Phone 9557 5551 for more information.
