  2. Send your application form and documents together with the application fee and testing fee specified on the form to:

  3. Within about three weeks of submitting your form the NAATI office in the State/Territory where you specified to sit the Special On-demand test will contact you to arrange a date, time and location for your test. Confirmation of these details will be sent to you in writing.
  4. Sit the NAATI test. You must sit the Special On-demand test within four weeks of the initial contact by the NAATI State/Territory office.
  5. After your test, your paper will be forwarded to NAATI examiner fro marking. A result can be normally expected within six to eight weeks of sitting the test. All tests are marked by at least two examiners who may reside in different states. This is why it takes six to eight weeks to receive results.

    As soon as NAATI receives the results from the examiners, the results will be posted to you. If you pass, you will be accredited as an interpreter or translator in the language and at the level at which you were tested; if not, you will be automatically be invited to sit a test the next time your language and level are tested within the Annual Program. You may also sit another Special On-demand Test at any time. Each time you sit a NAATI test you will be required to pay the appropriate testing fee.
