Cantonese practice topics and interpretation examples
Language rules for Cantonese CCL
The Cantonese entry refers to General Policies A and B, covering regional variation and limited English borrowing that is normal and widely understood in the language community in Australia.
The snapshot describes seven major groups of Chinese dialects whose spoken forms are largely mutually incomprehensible. It identifies Cantonese as one of the Yue dialects, widely spoken in Hong Kong and among overseas Chinese, including many Australian residents of ethnic Chinese background.

Details to check: dates, numbers and respectful address
These examples show specific mistakes to avoid in our practice material. They are not a ranking of candidate errors or extra NAATI rules. Keep the timing, amounts and social meaning of the original, including polite requests and forms of address.
Dates and times: retain Monday morning as stated in this segment
Example · Acute Conjunctivitis: Childcare Worker Consultation · segment 1
Thanks for coming in today, Ms. Wong. You said your left eye's been red and sticky since Monday morning — can you describe it further for me?
Model answer
黃女士，多謝你今日過嚟。你話你隻左眼由星期一朝早開始又紅又黐，你可唔可以再詳細講下俾我聽？
Easy to miss: Keep Monday morning as the onset; do not change it to yesterday morning.
Numbers and amounts: keep the proposed instalments weekly
Example · Dental Extraction Referral · segment 11
Yes, the hospital offers a payment plan, and you can discuss weekly instalments with their finance office when you attend your appointment.
Model answer
可以，醫院有分期付款安排，你去應診嗰陣，可以同佢哋嘅財務部商量按星期分期付款。
Easy to miss: The proposed instalments are weekly, not monthly.
Address and relationships: include the mother and both children living with the patient
Example · Acute Conjunctivitis: Childcare Worker Consultation · segment 4
咁會唔會傳染㗎？我屋企仲有阿媽同兩個細路仔同我一齊住，佢哋會唔會中招㗎？
Model answer
Is it contagious? My mum and my two children live with me. Could they catch it too?
Easy to miss: Include both the mother and the two children living with the patient.

Your eye looks inflamed with a yellow discharge, and there's no pain when I press near the eyelid. This looks like bacterial conjunctivitis, not viral.

Australian terms that cost Cantonese candidates marks

Questions people ask
Which variety of Cantonese should I use in the CCL test?
NAATI's general policies apply: examiners allow for regional variation (Policy A), and English words that Cantonese speakers in Australia regularly and commonly use are not penalised (Policy B). Excessive use of English is still one of NAATI's listed common mistakes.
How often is the Cantonese CCL test held?
NAATI tests high-demand languages every month and the others at least 4 times a year, and bookings close 1 week before each session. As of 22 Oct 2026, 1:00 pm (Sydney time), NAATI lists 8 upcoming Cantonese sessions, 8 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Wed 25 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/cantonese: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.
Is the NAATI CCL test available in Cantonese?
Yes. Cantonese is one of the languages NAATI tests for the CCL. Passing can support a claim for 5 points towards your skilled migration score. We currently publish 60 Cantonese practice dialogues.
Do I need a NAATI CCL Cantonese coaching class?
Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 60 Cantonese dialogues and 28 mock tests on your own, at exam speed, and the AI marks each segment for what you kept, left out, changed or added. A class adds a teacher who listens and corrects you; if you want one, see the Cantonese CCL teachers and classes list on naaticcl.com. The score here is our estimate, not a NAATI result.
How many marks do I need to pass?
63 out of 90, and at least 29 on each of the two dialogues. Marks come off for information you leave out, add, or change, and for language quality. We mark against the same published categories; the score is our own model's estimate, not a NAATI result.
How much does the real Cantonese CCL test cost?
AUD $814 (NAATI fees for 1 July 2026 – 30 June 2027), and you do not know the result until NAATI finalises it. That is the whole reason this site exists: know where you stand before you pay to sit it.
Can I wear headphones in the test?
No — no headsets, headphones or earphones of any kind. You use the computer's speakers and microphone. Older guides that tell you to wear wired headphones will get you caught out on the day. Only one screen is allowed at any time; your phone or tablet acts as the second camera.
Can I take notes?
Yes, with a pen and loose sheets of paper only. No typing of notes, and no electronic resources — dictionaries, web browsing, live captions or transcription — during the test.
What if I miss something — can I hear a segment again?
Yes. One repeated segment per dialogue is allowed without penalty. Further repeats incur mark deductions.
How long until I get my result, and how long is it valid?
NAATI's candidate instructions say results come by email within 4–6 weeks; they are issued individually as they are finalised, so two people who sat on the same day can hear back on different days. The result is valid for five years from the date of issue (three years if issued before 9 August 2022) and cannot be extended. You can apply to sit again six months before expiry, according to NAATI’s FAQ.
Is CCL still worth 5 migration points in Cantonese?
Yes. Credentialed Community Language points remain in the 189, 190 and 491 points tests. CCL is not a professional interpreting credential — passing it does not qualify you to work as an interpreter.
