Frequently Asked Questions for Medical Translations

A medical translation service provides accurate, professionally managed translations of medical and healthcare documents including patient records, clinical reports, pharmaceutical documentation, regulatory submissions, and health communications. Medical translation requires translators with specialist knowledge of medical terminology and the healthcare or pharmaceutical context involved, not just language fluency.

Medical terminology is precise and technical. A mistranslation in a clinical document, pharmaceutical label, or patient record can have serious consequences for patient safety, regulatory compliance, or clinical outcomes. General translators without medical training are not equipped to handle this content accurately. Our medical translators have backgrounds in medicine, health sciences, or pharmacy, which means they understand the clinical context behind the words they are translating.

NAATI certification is required when submitting medical documents to Australian courts, government departments, immigration authorities, or official bodies. For clinical, research, and most pharmaceutical purposes, a professional translation without NAATI certification is generally appropriate. If you are unsure what applies to your documents, we are happy to advise before you get started.

Yes. We regularly translate patient records, medical histories, discharge summaries, referral letters, and clinical correspondence for healthcare providers and individuals. All patient documents are handled under strict confidentiality with secure file management throughout the process.

Yes. We translate regulatory submissions, product dossiers, clinical study reports, and compliance documentation for the Therapeutic Goods Administration and equivalent regulatory bodies in other countries. Regulatory translation requires precision and an understanding of the regulatory frameworks involved, and our translators are experienced in this type of work.

Turnaround time depends on the language,  volume and complexity of the documents. Most standard medical documents are turned around within two to five business days. For urgent clinical or regulatory matters, express turnaround options are available. We will always confirm the timeline before work begins.

Yes. Informed consent forms, patient questionnaires, and clinical trial documentation are documents we translate regularly for research institutions, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. Accuracy in these documents is critical, patients and participants need to understand exactly what they are consenting to, and the translation must reflect the original with complete fidelity.

Yes. We regularly help individuals translate personal medical records, diagnostic reports, specialist letters, and other health documents whether for treatment overseas, immigration purposes, insurance claims, or legal proceedings. We make the process as straightforward as possible and can advise on whether NAATI certification is required for your specific purpose.

Medical translation costs vary depending on the language pair, document length and complexity, technical requirements, and turnaround time. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all projects. Send us your documents and requirements and we’ll come back to you with a clear, itemised price.
