Translations of foreign legal documents for Illawarra matters, and NSW documents translated for overseas use.
Wollongong is the court centre for the Illawarra. The District Court of NSW and the Local Court of NSW both sit in the city, while the most serious matters go to the Supreme Court of NSW. Residential tenancy, consumer and guardianship disputes are heard by the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT).
The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia has a family law registry in Wollongong, which handles divorce, parenting and property matters for families in the region. Reviews of Commonwealth decisions, including migration matters, are heard by the Administrative Review Tribunal.
The NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages keeps life-event records for the whole of New South Wales. Legal Aid NSW serves the Illawarra, helping eligible people with family, criminal and civil law, and local community legal centres provide further support.
The Illawarra has long-standing migrant communities from southern Europe and the Middle East, and much of our local work reflects that: inheritance and property documents from Italy, Greece and the former Yugoslavia, family records in Arabic and Turkish, and divorce or custody papers for family law. Students and staff at the university also need academic, police and civil documents translated. Check requirements with the body you are submitting to, as rules vary.
Upload scans or photos from Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama or the northern suburbs, and the translation reaches you as a PDF by email. Standard documents are priced on screen and complex work is quoted by email. Certified work is completed by a NAATI certified translator. Translator affidavits are quoted separately, where available.
Many older Illawarra families hold documents issued under the former Yugoslavia, in Serbian, Croatian or Macedonian, or old Italian and Greek registry extracts. Tell us where each document was issued, because the right terminology depends on the country and the period, not just the script.
We translate what your documents say. We do not advise on their legal effect, and we cannot confirm whether a particular court or agency will accept them. Please check requirements with the receiving body or your lawyer.
