NAATI Points for Skilled Migration

You can claim 5 extra points in the skilled visa points test if you have a recognised qualification in a “credentialled community language”. This is often called the NAATI or CCL points.

The points can be claimed for the 189, 190 and 491 visas. They are assessed at the time you are invited to apply, so your result must be valid on the invitation date.

The National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) runs the Credentialed Community Language (CCL) test. The CCL test checks your ability to interpret short conversations between English and another language. Passing it gives you the 5 points but does not certify you to work as a professional interpreter or translator.

NAATI Credentialed Community Language test – Validity for points

The Department has advised that the validity of NAATI CCL test results for the award of Sch 6D points is three years.

Please remember when using these test results for EOIs that the test result remains valid for the award of points at the time the applicant is also invited to apply for a visa.
