Fees and payment

Fees

The fee to sit LAT is $199 (GST inclusive). If you are eligible for concession, the registration fee is $100 (GST inclusive).  

An additional $55 late fee applies for all registrations completed during the late registration period (see Homepage for exact dates).

Eligibility for concession registration fee

A concession registration fee is available to candidates who hold a valid Health Care Card (HCC) or Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) issued by the Australian Government Services Australia, or who are listed as dependants on the current HCC or PCC of a parent or guardian.

To be eligible for the concession registration fee:

  • your card must be signed by the cardholder; AND
  • your card must be valid at the time of LAT registration; AND
  • your name must appear on the card and it must match the name on the LAT registration; AND
  • you must submit a copy of both sides of the card to the LAT Office BEFORE you register.

Please note, student cards, Medicare cards, transport concession cards, private health insurance membership cards and Community Service cards DO NOT make you eligible for concession. Please also note that the concession registration fee is not available to overseas candidates.

Only holders of a valid HCC or PCC are eligible for the concession registration fee; claims of financial hardship based on other criteria cannot be considered.

For information on how to apply for a concession fee, please refer to the Concession page.

Payment

Payments are completed online by credit/debit card (Mastercard and Visa Credit/Debit, American Express, China UnionPay and JCB). American Express Card, Diners Club Card, personal cheques and cash will not be accepted.

You will receive a payment confirmation/tax invoice by email once the payment transaction is successfully completed. The online payment option operates through ACER's e-commerce facility via the ACER website. Card details are not recorded or stored by ACER but are encrypted at the point of capture and transmitted directly to the bank, without entering ACER information systems. Thus you can be assured this is a safe payment option.

Please note that your card statement may list ACER as the recipient, and a specific reference to the LAT may not be mentioned. If you (as the person registered to sit LAT) or any other person wrongfully dispute the amount charged to the card provided to complete the registration, your registration may be cancelled, your results may be withheld and/or you may be blocked from taking further ACER administered tests.

Please see the LAT refund terms for more information about cancellations and how to submit a request for a refund.
