My husband says my workplace needs a medical certificate. He also said that when I go back to the childcare centre, they want a letter saying I don't have an infectious disease.

Sinhala practice topics and interpretation examples
Language rules for Sinhala CCL
The Sinhalese entry refers to General Policies A and B. It does not add a separate language-specific rule.
Policy A covers regional variation: candidates need to understand variation within the language, and markers allow for it. Policy B permits limited English borrowing when it is normal and widely understood in the language community in Australia, even if an alternative word exists.
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: retain both ends of the visiting window
Example · Discussing a Head Injury Diagnosis with a Patient's Son · segment 7
Visiting hours in the ICU are from 10am to 8pm, but only two visitors at a time, please. Speak calmly and avoid loud noises around him.
Model answer
ICU එකේ බලන්න එන්න පුළුවන් වේලාව උදේ 10 සිට රෑ 8 දක්වායි, ඒත් කරුණාකරලා එක වෙලාවකට දෙන්නෙක් විතරයි. එයා ළඟදී සන්සුන්ව කතා කරන්න, ලොකු සද්ද වලින් වළකින්න.
Easy to miss: Easy to drop 'two at a time' or swap 10am/8pm; keep the please/polite tone.
Numbers and amounts: retain the exact bill amount
Example · Emergency Relief for an Overdue Power Bill · segment 4
බිල ඩොලර් හාරසිය අසූවක්. ඔව් සර්, නොටිසියක් ආවා. ඒකේ තියෙන්නේ ලබන සිකුරාදා විදුලිය කපනවා කියලා. සෙන්ටර්ලින්ක් එකෙන් දැනට මට කිසි දෙයක් ලැබෙන්නේ නෑ. මම තාම වැඩ කරන නිසා ඉල්ලන්න බැහැ කියලයි හිතුවේ.
Model answer
The bill is four hundred and eighty dollars. Yes sir, a notice came. It says the electricity will be cut off next Friday. At the moment I'm not getting anything from Centrelink. I thought I couldn't apply because I'm still working.
Easy to miss: $480 (හාරසිය අසූව) is easily mis-rendered as $400 or $48; also keep 'next Friday', not just 'Friday'.
Address and relationships: identify the grandmother bringing the daughter
Example · Enrolling a Daughter and Claiming the Child Care Subsidy · segment 8
සඳුදා සහ බදාදා උදේට මට පුළුවන්. ඒත් මට වැඩට යන්න වෙන දවසක් නම්, දුවගේ ආච්චිට එයාව එක්කරගෙන එන්න පුළුවන්ද?
Model answer
I'm free on Monday and Wednesday mornings. But if it's a day I have to go to work, can my daughter's grandmother bring her?
Easy to miss: The days are Monday and Wednesday (සඳුදා, බදාදා); it is the grandmother, not the mother.

Australian terms that cost Sinhala candidates marks

Questions people ask
Which variety of Sinhala should I use in the CCL test?
NAATI's general policies apply: examiners allow for regional variation (Policy A), and English words that Sinhala 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 Sinhala 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 16 upcoming Sinhala sessions, 16 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Tue 10 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/sinhala: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.
Is the NAATI CCL test available in Sinhala?
Yes. Sinhala 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 99 Sinhala practice dialogues.
Do I need a NAATI CCL Sinhala coaching class?
Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 99 Sinhala dialogues and 47 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 Sinhala 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 Sinhala 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 Sinhala?
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.
