Industries we work with in Melbourne

Healthcare & Medical

Melbourne is home to some of Australia's leading hospitals and health networks. LEXIGO supports patient communication across the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Alfred Health, Melbourne Health, Monash Health, and Western Health with translated patient information, consent forms, discharge summaries.

Government & Public Sector

Victorian Government departments require clear multilingual communication to serve the state's diverse population. LEXIGO partners with agencies across justice, health, education, and community services to deliver translated correspondence, multilingual campaign materials, and translated public information.

Education & Research

With the University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT, Deakin University, La Trobe University, and Swinburne University all calling Melbourne home, the city's education sector generates significant demand for academic transcript translation, research document translation, and multilingual student communications.

Legal & Immigration

Melbourne's legal sector — from the County Court of Victoria and Magistrates' Court to migration agents across the CBD and suburbs — relies on NAATI certified translations of identity documents, statutory declarations, court orders, and supporting evidence for visa applications.

For organisations: translation at scale

If you're a government agency, health network, university, or corporate organisation in Melbourne, LEXIGO operates as a translation and multicultural communications partner — not just a document-by-document vendor. We support organisations with ongoing translation programs, multilingual campaign delivery, and community engagement strategies. Our clients include Victorian Government departments, Melbourne's major hospital networks, and leading universities. Talk to us about volume arrangements, dedicated account management, and integration with your existing workflows.

Why choose LEXIGO

Your translation will be accepted. Guaranteed.

Every LEXIGO translation carries full NAATI certification and our 100% acceptance guarantee. If any Victorian government department, court, or institution doesn't accept your translation, we'll resolve it at no additional cost. We work with VCAT, the County Court, Births Deaths and Marriages Victoria, and VicRoads daily — we know exactly what each institution requires.

Your document, returned on time

Deadlines matter. Whether it's a court filing date, a visa lodgement window, or a medical appointment, late isn't an option. Standard turnaround is 2–5 business days, with express and same-day options for urgent requirements. Based in Melbourne means no time zone delays — documents submitted in the morning can be returned the same day.

No appointment, no visit, no hassle

Submit your document online from anywhere in Melbourne — Footscray, Dandenong, Box Hill, the CBD, or your couch. The entire process from upload to certified delivery happens digitally. If you do want a hard copy, we'll post it or you can collect from our Melbourne office.

We know Melbourne's communities

Melbourne's suburbs each have distinct language profiles. The Vietnamese community in Footscray uses different dialects to those in Springvale. The Chinese community in Box Hill includes both Mandarin and Cantonese speakers. The Arabic speakers in Broadmeadows have different cultural contexts to those in Coburg. Our translators understand these nuances because they're part of these communities.
