Outcome
Overview
A workplace that reflects NAATI’s national role, and the diversity of the communities it serves.
The National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) engaged CR Commercial Property Group to deliver the fitout of its Melbourne CBD office, a workplace that needed to be functional, welcoming, and reflective of the organisation’s unique national mission.
NAATI works with translators and interpreters across more than 100 languages and communities. The fitout reflects that diversity, from the multilingual “Good Luck” mural in the candidate waiting room, to the Indigenous artwork in the boardroom, to the Australian, Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander flags displayed at reception. Every design decision was made with the organisation’s cultural responsibilities in mind.
01
NAATI required a Melbourne CBD office that served multiple functions simultaneously, a professional workplace for its national team, a welcoming and accessible space for the translators and interpreters it accredits, and an environment that genuinely reflected the cultural diversity at the heart of the organisation’s purpose.
Delivering a fitout that achieved all of these goals, within a defined government budget and programme, required careful coordination of design, brand integration, and cultural sensitivity from the outset. Every element, from the candidate waiting room to the reception desk, had to serve a specific functional and symbolic purpose.
02
CRCPG provided full project management throughout, coordinating design, brand integration, joinery fabrication, AV, and finishing trades under a single delivery framework with clear programme milestones and budget checkpoints.
Close collaboration with the NAATI team ensured that every cultural and brand element, from the reception desk branding to the Indigenous artwork selection and the multilingual mural commission, was handled with the care and consideration the organisation required. The result is a workplace that communicates NAATI’s values clearly and consistently across every space.
03
The completed fitout gives NAATI a Melbourne CBD workplace that is functional, welcoming, and genuinely reflective of its national mission, a space that works for the organisation’s staff, its accredited professionals, and the diverse communities it serves.
