About the Ukrainian Language

Ukrainian is a language of the East Slavic subgroup of the Slavic languages. It is the official state language of Ukraine. Written Ukrainian uses a variant of the Cyrillic script. The Ukrainian language traces its origins to the Old East Slavic of the early medieval state of Kievan Rus'. Ukrainian is a lineal descendant of the colloquial language used in Kievan Rus' (10th–13th century). From 1804 until the Russian Revolution Ukrainian was banned from schools in the Russian Empire of which Ukraine was a part at the time.

Ukrainian Community in Australia

Australia's Ukrainian community has two distinct layers. The first is a long-established diaspora tracing back to post-World War II displaced persons — Ukrainians who fled Soviet occupation and were resettled in Australia from the late 1940s onward. This community built churches, cultural organisations, and schools, and maintained Ukrainian identity across several generations. The second layer is much more recent: since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Australia has received thousands of Ukrainian nationals under humanitarian and special visa arrangements, creating urgent and large-scale demand for translation services. For recent arrivals, the most pressing translation needs centre on identity documents — passports, birth certificates, and marriage certificates — needed to establish immigration status, enrol children in school, access government services, and eventually regularise their visa situation. A complication that has emerged since 2022: some Ukrainians have left with incomplete documentation, and the disruption to Ukrainian government services in conflict-affected regions has made obtaining replacement documents difficult. Our translators are experienced in working with the document types available to displaced Ukrainians. Critically: Ukrainian Cyrillic is distinct from Russian Cyrillic — several characters differ and the languages are not mutually intelligible. A Russian translator cannot translate a Ukrainian document; NAATI accreditation is language-specific. Ukraine is not a Hague Apostille Convention signatory, meaning Ukrainian documents require consular authentication rather than an apostille for use in Australia.
