NAATI Exam Fee in 2026: How Much Does the NAATI CCL Test Really Cost?
The official test fee, what it covers, the reschedule and cancel policy, and how to make sure you only pay it once.
If you are planning to sit the NAATI CCL test to claim those 5 points for your Australian PR, one of the first questions on your mind is probably this: how much is the NAATI exam fee?
It is a fair question, because this test is not cheap. Knowing the exact numbers before you book helps you plan your budget properly and avoid nasty surprises. Let's break down the official NAATI test fee, what it covers, and how you can make sure you only pay it once.
The Official NAATI CCL Test Fee
According to NAATI's official fee schedule, valid from 1 July 2026 until 30 June 2027, the fee to sit the NAATI CCL test is:
AUD $814
That price includes GST and applies to every language — so whether you are taking CCL Indonesia or any of the other 50+ languages, the NAATI test fee is the same. The fee covers the test itself, examiner marking, and result processing.
Other NAATI Fees You Should Know About
The test fee is not the only number worth knowing. Here are a few others from NAATI's official price list:
- Assessed practice CCL test: $165. This is a real practice test marked by actual NAATI examiners using the same marking rubric as the real thing. It is a great readiness check before you spend $814.
- Free practice tests: $0. NAATI provides downloadable practice materials in your language at no cost, plus a free platform practice test when you book.
- CCL test review: $187. If you believe your result was marked incorrectly, you can apply for a review.
What Happens If You Need to Reschedule or Cancel?
Life happens, and NAATI understands that:
- Rescheduling is free. You can move your test date through your myNAATI account at no cost, as long as you do it before the cutoff time.
- Cancelling gets you a 75% refund, as long as you cancel at least one hour before your scheduled start time. Cancel later than that, or simply not show up, and you lose the entire fee.
The Real Cost of Failing
Here is the part nobody likes to talk about. If you do not pass, there is no discount on your retake. You pay the full $814 again. Fail twice and you have spent more than $1,600 on the NAATI CCL test alone.
That is why preparation matters so much. The NAATI exam fee is a one-time investment if you pass on your first attempt, but it becomes an expensive cycle if you keep going in underprepared.
How to Make Sure You Only Pay Once
The pass rate for the CCL test is lower than most people expect, and the most common reason candidates fail is simple: they walk in without enough realistic practice.
