The Sign Language Interpreters Association of New Zealand (SLIANZ) is the national professional body that represents the interests of professional sign language interpreters in New Zealand.^[1] It was established in 1996, became an incorporated society in 1997, and is an affiliate member of the New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters. Internationally it is a member of the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters and constitutes the second largest representative group of sign language interpreters in the WASLI Oceania region, after Australia.^[2]

SLIANZ seeks to "represent and advance the profession by informing members and consumers and promoting high standards of practice and integrity in the field".^[3] In addition to requiring its members to adhere to Codes of Ethics and Practice, SLIANZ also provides its members with a mentoring programme and is in the process of trying a new professional development system. SLIANZ produces a quarterly newsletter, holds an annual conference and keeps a Directory (available on its website) of its "full" members—that is, members who are trained and qualified interpreters.
