Ms Le [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2022-11-24.44.1): > *The amendments I have risen to move will do the following: increase cooperation between the commission and individuals of multicultural backgrounds; and assist those with language barriers to be fully understood and also to clearly communicate with the commission. Amendment (1) will ensure translation and interpretation services are available to Australians who require them. It means the commission will need to provide contact details for translator services in a situation where there is a language barrier. This amendment will ensure that is followed through to summons and the commission's investigative processes. Amendments (2) and (3) will ensure the commission will provide individuals with appropriate mental health resources and support through the commission process. Being called in front of an integrity commission can be daunting, can be shocking and can lead to suicide—and it has led to suicides. I want to ensure that, when the commission is established, investigating corruption is not at the cost of life, especially a life who was not corrupt or may have never been found corrupt.* Read more about the bill in its [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd2223a/23bd035). ### Amendment text > *(1) Clause 63, page 64 (line 10), at the end of subclause (4), add:* > >> *; and (c) include contact details for translator services.* > > *(2) Page 65 (after line 19), after clause 66, insert:* > >> *66A Services that must be provided to persons appearing at hearings* >>
