Extra money will be provided in South Australia's State Budget for hiring more Aboriginal interpreters for the court system.
The State Government will spend $520,000 over 4 years to help speed up the court process for Aboriginal people.
Attorney-General Michael Atkinson says in about 30 per cent of cases interpreters do not attend because they may be related to the defendant.
"There can be pressure on that interpreter not to show, or not to perform at the required standard," he said.
Retired Pitjantjatjara interpreter Mona Tur says the Government should use the money to increase pay rates.
"The money factor is very important, they need to be paid very well for their services," she said.
The Government wants existing public sector workers to join the court system in Adelaide, the APY Lands and at Port Augusta.
