NAATI products and services are charged in Australian dollars and where applicable include Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST). For many international residents GST is not payable and NAATI does not apply it.
NAATI is aware of an issue in our system whereby some international candidates are receiving invoices which state that GST has been applied. This is a system issue which we are working on.
Yes. All CCL tests are conducted online.
No.
NAATI staff cannot book a test date for you. To book a test date you will need to log onto your myNAATI portal and select a test date that is available to you.
If no available dates appear for the location you have selected, this means there are no current test spaces available. You can either change location or keep checking myNAATI regularly to see if there have been any cancellations or further test dates added.
NAATI is aware of several companies and individuals offering this type of service. NAATI does not provide any company or individual preferential access to test places and we actively pursue anyone who tries to manipulate our booking system. We will invalidate the test of any candidate found to have used a service such as this and are always working to ensure all candidates have equal access to test dates. There is no time limit to select a test spot after your application has been processed. We suggest you keep checking myNAATI regularly.
No. Once you have submitted your application you are not able to change or select a different payment method.
If you want to change how you pay you will need to send an email to info@naati.com.au. Your application will be cancelled. You will need to submit a new application and select your preferred payment method.
If there are no test spots available, the system will show you the message “to be scheduled”.
Please be patient. Our booking portal is live and is updated daily. We advise you to keep checking myNAATI on a regular basis.
In order to reschedule your test, you must reject your original test and then select another test date.
Please note: When you reject the first test, you will lose your current test spot and the next date could be weeks away from your current date. There is no guarantee you will be able to select the same test date (the one you have rejected) again.
Refer to the cancellation policy: Terms and Conditions
If for any reason other than those mentioned in the cancellation policy, you are unable to attend the session, please inform us and we will withdraw your application. 100% of the fee will be retained.
If you would like to sit the test at a later date, please submit a new application, select a test date and make another payment.
Candidates can change their language, at no cost, if the test date is more than 7 days from the date of change. If the test date is within 7 days from the date of change a 100% penalty (i.e. $800) will be applicable.
Language requests can be submitted to info@naati.com.au.
To change the language a second time, candidates are advised to withdraw their application, submit a refund form (eligible refund is 75%) to finance@naati.com.au and then submit a new application.
Rescheduling or cancellation within 7 days of your test date is not possible unless the candidate provides evidence of hospital admission, serious injury or an accident. This is because we “lock in” the test sessions to enable planning and preparation.
If you have been admitted to hospital, or suffered a serious injury or accident, you must provide evidence to info@naati.com.au by 8am (Canberra time) on the test day at the very latest. The medical certificate or hospital admission must state the nature of the illness. For more information, refer to the cancellation policy: Terms and Conditions.
You need to complete the refund form and send to finance@naati.com.au.
It can take 14-21 days to process a refund and then receive the credit to your account. Please note NAATI will refund the payment to the same account it was paid from.
If you receive a Credit Note this means NAATI is processing your refund request. Your funds will be credited within 5 -10 business days of receiving the credit note to the same bank account/credit card you paid from.

It is recommended you bring your original ID on test day.
Candidates who wear a hearing aid are required to provide to NAATI a current medical certificate about their condition, related medical reports for the past 12 months, the hearing aid model number and photos clearly showing the model number. This information must be sent to info@naati.com.au at least three days before the candidate’s test date.
Modifications to how the test is undertaken are not possible.
There is a national time of 20 minutes per test. We may cease a test if it runs too long.

Any test issues or incidents will be investigated, and a response provided as soon as the investigation has finished. Please ensure that you tell us your customer number in the subject line as without this a response may be delayed.
While reporting a complaint, please mention your customer number in the subject line. Your complaint will be thoroughly investigated and it may take up to two weeks for us to respond.
Here are the most common reasons candidates did not achieve their desired result in the CCL test. Try to pay particular attention to these areas to increase your chance of success.
A paid review is only available to candidates whose initial result is 58 or higher. The result will be the average result of three examiners, the two that originally marked the tests and a third examiner.
A paid review result can take up to three weeks and the result will be sent to you via email.
Note: You cannot submit a new application and an application for a paid review at the same time.
However, if you submit a new application and have not selected a test date yet, please write to us (info@naati.com.au) and provide your consent to withdraw your application. Once the application is withdrawn, you will be able to submit a paid review request.
A CCL result or Credential Letter is valid for three years from the date of issue.
If your credentials have expired, you need to take the test again.
You can submit an application 6 months prior to the date of the expiry of the existing credential.
