Full transcript
Thanks so much for coming in today, Mr. Juma. Your GP mentioned you've been feeling overwhelmed since moving to Dandenong. Can you tell me what's been happening?
Asante. Tangu tulipohamia Dandenong miezi mitatu iliyopita, sijalala vizuri. Nina wasiwasi kuhusu kazi na familia yangu inayoishi Kenya.
That sounds very stressful. How many hours of sleep are you getting each night, and have you noticed any changes in appetite or concentration?
Nalala kama masaa manne tu kila usiku, na sina hamu ya kula kama kawaida.
I'd like to arrange six weekly counselling sessions here at the clinic. If you ever feel unsafe or have thoughts of harming yourself, please call Lifeline immediately.
Sawa, nakubali. Je, vikao hivi vitakuwa na malipo, au vinafunikwa na Medicare?
Yes, Medicare will cover these sessions under your mental health care plan, so you won't need to pay out of pocket.
Asante sana, hilo linanisaidia sana kwa sababu sina kazi ya kudumu kwa sasa.
Good. Let's schedule your first session for next Thursday at 10am. Please arrive fifteen minutes early to complete some paperwork.
Sawa, nitakuja Alhamisi saa nne asubuhi na nitafika mapema kama ulivyosema.
Excellent. If anything urgent comes up before then, you can contact the clinic reception or triple zero in an emergency.
Asante sana kwa msaada wenu, nitawasiliana nanyi kama kuna dharura.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- counselling sessionsTumia 'vikao vya ushauri nasaha' kwa Kiswahili, ambayo ni tafsiri sahihi na inayoeleweka.
- lifelineSema 'Lifeline' kama jina la shirika, ukieleza ni huduma ya simu ya msaada wa dharura wa kisaikolojia.
- medicareTumia neno 'Medicare' kama lilivyo kwa Kiingereza, kwani halina tafsiri rasmi ya Kiswahili.
- mental health care planSema 'mpango wa huduma ya afya ya akili unaotolewa na daktari kupitia Medicare'.
- out of pocketSema 'gharama za ziada anazolipa mgonjwa mwenyewe' au 'gharama zisizofunikwa na Medicare'.
- triple zeroSema 'namba 000' au 'triple zero' kama ilivyo, ukieleza ni namba ya dharura ya Australia.
