नमस्ते डाक्टर। मैले घरमा पनि नापेको छु। बिहान प्रायः एक सय पचास जति हुन्छ, बेलुका अलि कम हुन्छ। आजकल काममा धेरै तनाव छ।

Many nurses who sit the CCL are also preparing for OET, and the two sets of points stack: the CCL adds 5, and OET at Superior English (at least 390 Listening, 400 Reading, 420 Writing and 400 Speaking, for tests taken from 7 August 2025) is worth 20 on the English row. Our sister site OETAce, from the same company, has OET practice for nurses.

Nepali practice topics and interpretation examples

Language rules for Nepali CCL

The Nepali entry refers to General Policies A and B. It does not set a separate Nepali dialect, number-conversion or honorific rule.

Policy A covers regional variation: candidates need to understand variation within the language, and markers allow for it. Policy B allows limited English borrowing that is normal and widely understood in the language community in Australia, even where another word exists. This does not mean any English word can replace an interpretation.

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

Interpreting examples: details to keep

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: keep the day, time and deadline separate

Example · Common Assault Charge Advice · segment 3

Interpret this segment aloud into Nepali before opening the reference.

Your matter is listed at Parramatta Local Court next Tuesday at 10am. Before then, you need to decide whether to plead guilty or not guilty.

Model answer

तपाईंको मुद्दा अर्को मंगलबार बिहान १० बजे पारामाटा लोकल कोर्टमा तोकिएको छ। त्यसअघि तपाईंले दोष स्वीकार गर्ने कि नगर्ने भनेर निर्णय गर्नुपर्छ।

Check your interpretation

  • Did you keep the court, next Tuesday and 10am?
  • Did you keep the decision deadline as before the hearing?

Easy to miss: 'Next Tuesday at 10am' must come through as morning 10, and 'before then' is the deadline for the decision, not the hearing itself.

Practise this dialogue →

Numbers: retain both amounts and the payment period

Example · Is This Rent Increase Valid? · segment 3

Interpret this segment aloud into Nepali before opening the reference.

This says your rent rises from four hundred and eighty to five hundred and forty dollars weekly. When did your lease start, and when was the last increase?

Model answer

यसमा तपाईंको भाडा हप्ताको चार सय असी डलरबाट पाँच सय चालीस डलर हुन्छ भनेर लेखिएको छ। तपाईंको लिज कहिले सुरु भएको थियो, र पछिल्लो पटक भाडा कहिले बढेको थियो?

Check your interpretation

  • Did you keep the old and new weekly rent amounts in the right order?
  • Did you ask both about the lease start and the last increase?

Easy to miss: Two numbers and two questions; keep 480 and 540 weekly and ask both questions.

Practise this dialogue →

Respectful address: interpret the relationship, not just the word

Example · An Unpaid Invoice from a Café · segment 8

Interpret this segment aloud into English before opening the reference.

अदालतमा त म जान चाहन्नँ बाबु, उमेर भयो, दौडधूप गर्न सक्दिनँ। पहिला तपाईंहरूले नै क्याफेसँग कुरा मिलाइदिनुस्।

Model answer

I don't want to go to court, dear. I'm getting old and I can't be running around. Please, you people sort things out with the café first.

Check your interpretation

  • Did you keep the refusal to go to court and the reason?
  • Did you preserve the respectful address and the request to speak to the café first?

Easy to miss: 'बाबु' is an affectionate address to the younger officer, not literally 'father' or 'baby'; keep the refusal of court clear.

Practise this dialogue →

Counselling: keep the negation and how long the worry lasts

Example · Mental Health Counselling Follow-up · segment 2

Interpret this segment aloud into English before opening the reference.

नमस्ते म्याडम। साँच्चै भन्नुपर्दा अलि गाह्रो भइरहेको छ। राति राम्ररी निद्रा लाग्दैन, र दिनभरि मनमा डर र चिन्ता रहिरहन्छ।

Model answer

Hello, madam. To be honest, it's been a bit hard. I don't sleep well at night, and all day long I feel fear and worry in my mind.

Check your interpretation

  • Did you keep that the speaker does not sleep well at night?
  • Did you keep fear and worry lasting all day?

Easy to miss: Keep the negation 'don't sleep well' and the 'all day long' duration.

Practise this dialogue →

Legal aid: keep the approximate time and sequence of events

Example · Reporting an Assault to a Duty Solicitor · segment 2

Interpret this segment aloud into English before opening the reference.

नमस्ते, धन्यवाद। शुक्रबार साँझ लगभग साढे छ बजे, वेस्टफिल्ड पारामाटामा किनमेल गर्दै गर्दा एक अनजान मान्छेले मलाई पछाडिबाट धकेलेर मुखमा हिर्काए।

Model answer

Hello, thank you. On Friday evening at about half past six, while I was shopping at Westfield Parramatta, a stranger pushed me from behind and hit me in the face.

Check your interpretation

  • Did you keep Friday evening, the approximate time and the location?
  • Did you keep the stranger pushing from behind before hitting the speaker?

Easy to miss: साढे छ is half past six (6:30), not six o'clock or 6:15.

Nepali vocabulary in context

Learn these expressions inside complete practice sentences. Interpret aloud first, then compare with the reference interpretation; wording can vary with context.

Medication and side effects

From High Blood Pressure Consultation · segment 3

Stress can certainly play a part. Have you been taking the medication every morning as we discussed, and have you noticed any side effects?

Show the Nepali reference interpretation

तनावले पक्कै पनि केही भूमिका खेल्न सक्छ। हामीले कुरा गरेजस्तै तपाईंले हरेक बिहान औषधि खाइरहनुभएको छ? अनि औषधिको कुनै साइड इफेक्ट, अर्थात् नराम्रो असर, थाहा पाउनुभएको छ?

Keep the meaning: There are two separate questions here; do not merge them into one or deliver them as statements.

Practise this dialogue →

A written asthma action plan

From Asthma Review and Action Plan · segment 7

If you don't currently have a written asthma action plan at home, we can work together to create one for you today.

Show the Nepali reference interpretation

यदि तपाईंसँग अहिले घरमा लिखित दम कार्ययोजना छैन भने, हामी आज सँगै मिलेर तपाईंका लागि एउटा बनाउन सक्छौं।

Keep the meaning: Keep the 'if' conditional and the term 'written asthma action plan'; it's an offer, not an instruction.

Practise this dialogue →

Australian terms in Nepali 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.

Services Australia

From Child Care Subsidy · segment 1

Good morning. How can I help you today at Services Australia?

Show the Nepali reference interpretation

नमस्ते। आज Services Australia मा म तपाईंलाई कसरी सहयोग गर्न सक्छु?

Keep the meaning: Keep it as an open question; don't turn 'How can I help you?' into a statement or drop 'Services Australia'.

About services australia · Practise this dialogue →

Public Hospital

From Chest Pain Assessment and Cardiology Referral · segment 9

Even without a Medicare card, you can still be seen through the public hospital system. If eligible, I can help you enrol, and costs can be discussed with the hospital.

Show the Nepali reference interpretation

मेडिकेयर कार्ड नभए पनि तपाईंलाई सार्वजनिक अस्पताल प्रणालीमार्फत हेर्न सकिन्छ। योग्य हुनुभयो भने म तपाईंलाई दर्ता गर्न सहयोग गर्न सक्छु, अनि खर्चको बारेमा अस्पतालसँग कुरा गर्न सकिन्छ।

Keep the meaning: 'If eligible' is a condition on enrolment, not a promise of free treatment; keep 'costs discussed with hospital' rather than 'free'.

About public hospital · Practise this dialogue →

Medical Certificate

From Reporting an Assault to a Duty Solicitor · segment 3

Did you receive any medical treatment afterwards, and do you have a hospital report, medical certificate, or photographs showing your injuries?

Show the Nepali reference interpretation

त्यसपछि तपाईंले कुनै चिकित्सा उपचार पाउनुभयो? अनि तपाईंको चोट देखाउने अस्पतालको रिपोर्ट, मेडिकल सर्टिफिकेट वा फोटोहरू तपाईंसँग छन्?

Keep the meaning: Three separate documents are listed (hospital report, medical certificate, photos); dropping one or merging them loses marks.

From High Blood Pressure Consultation · Health · the same audio you get when you practise.

Doctor

Good afternoon. I have your results here. Your blood pressure readings over the past month are still higher than we would like to see.

Patient

नमस्ते डाक्टर। मैले घरमा पनि नापेको छु। बिहान प्रायः एक सय पचास जति हुन्छ, बेलुका अलि कम हुन्छ। आजकल काममा धेरै तनाव छ।

Doctor

Stress can certainly play a part. Have you been taking the medication every morning as we discussed, and have you noticed any side effects?

Patient

औषधि मैले प्रायः छुटाएको छैन। तर कहिलेकाहीँ रिंगटा लाग्छ, विशेष गरी छिटो उठ्दा। के यो सामान्य हो?

Questions people ask

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

NAATI's general policies apply: examiners allow for regional variation (Policy A), and English words that Nepali 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 Nepali 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 26 upcoming Nepali sessions, 23 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/nepali: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.

Is the NAATI CCL test available in Nepali?

Yes. Nepali 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 333 Nepali practice dialogues.

Is this page about the NAATI Nepali test or a NAATI Nepali 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 Nepali coaching class?

Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 333 Nepali dialogues and 166 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 Nepali hard?

Speaking Nepali 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 Nepali?

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 Nepali 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 Nepali 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 Nepali 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 Nepali?

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.
