@petro909 Thank you for the answer, but I searched for it further, and came to different conclusion. If you are in Australia then it is simple, you will use NAATI translation, but in other countries, the list of authorized interpreters is defined by the court and that list is not known in Australia, so you need an apostille to prove that certification/translation is valid.

"Only after the court interpreter prepares a certified translation can your document receive an Apostille."

"Apostille is a certification of certification that serves to confirm the authenticity of both, the seals and the signatures of public officials who authenticate documents issued by public authorities so that they are considered valid in the countries that are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention."

"At the top is the title Apostille, followed by (Convention de La Haye du 5 octobre 1961) (French for "Hague Convention of 5 October 1961"). The convention specifies that this text must be in French. After this text, the apostille contains ten numbered fields, which may be in English, French or the language of the competent authority, and may be repeated in one or more additional languages."

Bottom line, that means, no need to translate apostille, and it has to come after translation other than NAATI. I hope this will help someone else.
