Is tax included in the Australia price?
celpip.ca's Australian page words it "plus applicable taxes". That is all celpip.ca says, so we say no more: we have no official tax statement for Australia. (Our advice, not Paragon's: read the total on the registration screen before you pay.)

What ID do I bring in Australia?
Paragon's Test Day Information page lists, for Australia: Passport Booklet and Refugee Travel Document for immigration purposes, and for other purposes “Same IDs”. It must be the one you registered with: original, valid, unexpired, matching your registration's full name and document number. Paragon says that without an acceptable ID you will not be allowed to take the test, and you cannot transfer it or get a refund.

Can I cancel or transfer a sitting?
Paragon's pages disagree on the deadline, so here are both, each with its page:
- Policies & Forms: a cancellation received at least 7 calendar days before the sitting gets 50% of the fee back; a transfer must be made at least 7 days ahead, and the first is free.
- The FAQ on celpip.ca's country pages, including Australia: at least 9 calendar days for both, a 50% refund, and a transfer fee of CA$50 plus applicable taxes.
The shorter notice you give, the less likely a refund. Which page applies to a registration made in Australia is not stated; the CELPIP Account shows what you are charged.
How long is the test, and when do results arrive?
Paragon words the total length three ways: “about 3 hours” on the country-page FAQ, and “under 3 hours”, “under 2 hours and 50 minutes”, “2 hours and 50 minutes” on others. The component times are the same everywhere: Listening 46–55, Reading 43–56, Writing 53 and Speaking 15 minutes. Results: 3-4 business days on the country-page FAQ, 2-4 business days on its Results page, Australia page, Test Day Information page.
Is CELPIP accepted for Australian visas?
The Department of Home Affairs lists CELPIP General among the tests it accepts for tests taken on or after 7 August 2025, if taken at a secure test centre. It says it does not accept tests delivered completely online, and names CELPIP Online as an example. See our Australian visa guide for the score levels.
