Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Ms Lehmann — I've got some good news about the position at Woolworths in Glenelg.
Das freut mich sehr! Wissen Sie schon, wann genau ich anfangen könnte?
It's a permanent part-time role, twenty hours a week, and it starts this Thursday morning at eight o'clock sharp.
Gut, und wie sieht es mit Urlaub und anderen Rechten aus, wenn die Stelle unbefristet in Teilzeit ist?
As permanent part-time staff, you'll receive pro-rata annual leave and sick leave entitlements, but no casual loading, since you're not employed as a casual.
Muss ich noch etwas für die polizeiliche Überprüfung erledigen, bevor ich anfange?
One important condition: your police check must come back cleared before Thursday's first shift begins, not sometime afterwards, so we need it finalised very soon.
Das klingt knapp - wie schnell kann ich das online beantragen, damit es rechtzeitig fertig ist?
Please apply online today through the official screening portal — results usually come back within three business days, so you should be ready well in time.
Und muss ich Centrelink sofort informieren, sobald ich anfange zu arbeiten?
Once you start working, you'll report your income to Services Australia through myGov every fortnight, as usual — there's no special one-week deadline linked to your start date.
Alles klar, das beruhigt mich sehr. Vielen Dank für die klare Erklärung, Frau Carter.

- police checkMit 'polizeiliches Führungszeugnis' übersetzen.
- services australiaDer Name Services Australia bleibt als Eigenname unverändert stehen.
- mygov'myGov' unverändert lassen, da es ein Eigenname/Markenname ist.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
