Victoria's government says Victorians will have better access to interpreter services thanks to a significant funding boost from the Andrews Labor Government.

 Minister for Multicultural Affairs Robin Scott announced $21.8 million over four years and $8.4 million per year ongoing to improve the pay and working conditions of contractor and casually employed interpreters.

 The boost is the largest single funding increase for interpreter services in Victoria's history.
