Easy to miss: 'Kanan' means right, not left. 'Kira-kira' (about) must be kept as an approximation.

Model answer

It started about three days ago, in the right eye first. This morning my eyes were stuck together with yellow discharge, and they've been itchy all day.

Malay practice topics and interpretation examples

Language rules for Malay CCL

The Malay entry refers to General Policies A and B. NAATI treats Indonesian and Malay as separate languages, with identifiable differences in vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation despite their shared features.

Candidates who nominate Malay must use recognisably Malay forms where such differences exist. Excessive usage from the other language may cause examiners to fail the candidate.

Source: NAATI Language Policy for Credentialed Community Language (CCL) Tests, Language-specific information and general policies, as applicable. Checked .

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: separate visiting hours from the arrival deadline

Example · Pre-Operative Consultation Before Knee Surgery · segment 9

Visiting hours start at 2pm on the ward. Please arrive tomorrow by 7am, and sign the consent form before admission.

Model answer

Waktu melawat di wad bermula pada pukul 2 petang. Sila datang esok sebelum pukul 7 pagi, dan tandatangani borang persetujuan sebelum kemasukan ke hospital.

Easy to miss: 2pm (visiting) and 7am (arrival) are easily swapped, and 'by 7am' means no later than 7am.

Numbers and amounts: retain the charge and promised completion period

Example · Formal Complaint Against an Electrician · segment 2

Saya upah seorang juruelektrik untuk mengubah suai pendawaian rumah saya di Newcastle bulan lepas. Dia janji siapkan kerja itu dalam masa tiga hari, tetapi mengenakan bayaran lapan ratus lima puluh dolar dan tidak menyiapkannya.

Model answer

I hired an electrician to redo the wiring in my house in Newcastle last month. He promised to finish the job within three days, but he charged me eight hundred and fifty dollars and didn't finish it.

Easy to miss: The amount: $850, not $815 or $8,500, and keeping 'three days'.

Address and relationships: preserve the reference to the late father

Example · Grief Counselling Follow-up Session · segment 2

Saya masih sukar tidur, Puan. Setiap malam saya teringat arwah ayah saya dan dada saya rasa berat. Saya cuma dapat tidur mungkin tiga atau empat jam sahaja.

Model answer

I'm still having trouble sleeping. Every night I think of my late father and my chest feels heavy. I only manage maybe three or four hours of sleep.

Easy to miss: 'Arwah ayah' means late (deceased) father, and 'cuma... sahaja' means 'only' three or four hours; both are easy to lose.

Australian terms in Malay practice dialogues

Interpret the complete sentence first, then compare the existing reference interpretation. The term link explains the Australian context; wording can vary with the situation.

Medicare

From Preparing for Cataract Surgery · segment 11

Medicare covers the standard cataract surgery here, though if you choose a private hospital instead, your health fund may cover the extra costs.

Show the Malay reference interpretation

Medicare menanggung kos pembedahan katarak biasa di sini, tetapi kalau encik memilih hospital swasta, dana kesihatan encik mungkin akan tanggung kos tambahan itu.

Keep the meaning: 'May cover' is a possibility, not a guarantee, and 'standard' surgery here should not be generalised to all costs.

About medicare · Practise this dialogue →

Australian Consumer Law

From Cellphone Refund Dispute · segment 3

Under Australian Consumer Law, a phone that stops working properly doesn't have to meet the store's own seven-day return deadline, because a genuine fault changes the rules.

Show the Malay reference interpretation

Di bawah Undang-undang Pengguna Australia, telefon yang berhenti berfungsi dengan baik tidak tertakluk kepada tempoh pemulangan tujuh hari yang ditetapkan oleh kedai itu sendiri, kerana kerosakan yang sebenar mengubah peraturannya.

Keep the meaning: The negation 'doesn't have to meet' is easy to reverse, and 'the store's own' policy must not become a legal deadline.

Nrma Insurance

From Disputing a Rejected CTP Injury Claim · segment 1

Thanks for coming in today, Encik Rahman. NRMA Insurance rejected your CTP claim, so let's talk about your options for disputing that decision.

Show the Malay reference interpretation

Terima kasih kerana datang hari ini, Encik Rahman. NRMA Insurance telah menolak tuntutan CTP encik, jadi mari kita bincangkan pilihan yang encik ada untuk mempertikaikan keputusan itu.

Keep the meaning: Keep the insurer name 'NRMA Insurance' and the term 'CTP' intact rather than dropping or generalising them.

GP

Your eyes look quite red and swollen this morning. Can you tell me when the discharge and irritation first began, and which eye started it?

Patient

Ia bermula kira-kira tiga hari lalu, mata kanan dahulu. Pagi ini mata melekat dengan cecair kuning, dan rasa gatal sepanjang hari.

GP

Have you been in close contact with anyone else who has red or itchy eyes recently, at home, work or school?

Patient

Anak saya di tadika ada gejala yang sama minggu lepas. Penglihatan saya tidak terjejas, tetapi kelopak mata melekat sepenuhnya semasa saya bangun pagi tadi.

Questions people ask

Which variety of Malay should I use in the CCL test?

NAATI treats Malay and Indonesian as two languages. Where they differ, examiners expect identifiably Malay usage, and an excessive number of Indonesian usages may lead examiners to fail the candidate.

How often is the Malay 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 12 Nov 2026, 11:00 AM (Sydney time), NAATI lists 7 upcoming Malay sessions, 7 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Thu 17 Dec 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/malay: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.

Is the NAATI CCL test available in Malay?

Yes. Malay 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 62 Malay practice dialogues.

Is this page about the NAATI Malay test or a NAATI Malay translator?

The test. This page is for the CCL test, which can support a claim for 5 points on a skilled migration score but does not qualify you to work as an interpreter or translator. If you need a document translated, see how to find a NAATI certified translator.

Do I need a NAATI CCL Malay coaching class?

Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 62 Malay dialogues and 31 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. Class packages we saw listed on 6 November 2026 ran from about $250 to about $700. 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.

Is NAATI CCL Malay hard?

Speaking Malay at home is not enough. You carry every detail across at speed, in both directions, and marks come off for each omission or change. You need 29 of 45 in each dialogue as well as 63 of 90 overall, so one weak dialogue can fail you. More in is NAATI CCL hard.

How long should I prepare for NAATI CCL Malay?

NAATI publishes no preparation time and there are no training prerequisites. Try your two free dialogues first, because the score shows how far off you are, then use the 4-week study plan.

Can I sit the NAATI CCL Malay test from overseas?

Yes. All CCL tests are online, and NAATI accepts a current passport from any country. Session times are listed in Sydney and Melbourne time, so check your own time zone. More in taking the CCL from overseas.

What if I fail the Malay test?

You can apply again and pay the test fee again. If you fail with 58 or higher, you can apply for a review within 30 days of your result for AUD $187: a separate examiner marks your test again. More in NAATI CCL review and resit.

How much does the real Malay 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 Malay?

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.
