How much is the TOEFL fee in Australia in 2026?

ETS's rules are the same in every country covered here (Bulletin, pages 4–5). Reschedule or cancel through your ETS account at least 4 full days before the test: for a Saturday test, by Tuesday. Cancelling in time returns 50% of the fee you paid, to the original payment method; after that deadline nothing is refunded. Requests by post, email or at the test centre are not accepted. You can take the test as often as you like, but not more than once in any 3 days.

The fee includes your scores in your ETS account about 3 days after the test, a PDF score report, MyBest scores and up to 4 official score reports to institutions you choose before 10 p.m. (local test-centre time) the day before the test (Bulletin, page 11). Each extra report costs US$29 on ETS's fee table; its score-sending page still says US$25, so expect the fee table's figure. A Speaking or Writing review must be requested within 30 days and not after you have sent scores anywhere.

ETS's country list says the TOEFL iBT Home Edition is available in every listed location, Australia included. It is the same test, taken at home and watched by a human proctor, bookable 24 hours a day, 4 days a week, at least 24 hours ahead (testing options). ETS's fee page gives one registration fee per location and no separate Home Edition price, so confirm the amount on the payment page. Check your room and computer against the at-home requirements first: if you have not checked in within 30 minutes of your start time, the test is cancelled with no refund. It does not count for Australian visas: Home Affairs names TOEFL iBT Home Edition among the online tests it does not accept, and ETS's Australia page says the same.

ETS's fee list gives a single fee for Australia and no separate price for TOEFL iBT Australia, so confirm the amount on the payment page. Home Affairs says that to make a result valid for Australian visas you must select 'Taking TOEFL for Australia' when registering, and results not registered that way may not be accepted (Home Affairs). ETS's Australia page says visa applicants must take TOEFL iBT Australia at an authorised test centre, and the Bulletin says those scores are posted about 4–8 days after the test, against about 3 days for standard TOEFL iBT. Scores for each English level are in our TOEFL for Australian visas guide. Pay by card, PayPal or Alipay in your ETS account (fee page).

ETS says nearly every location on its country list has TOEFL iBT test centres, and that the test runs more than 170 times a year. Its centre and date search only opens once you sign in to an ETS account from the schedule page, so we have not listed cities in Australia; sign in to see the centres and seats near you before choosing between a centre and the Home Edition.

Since 21 January 2026, TOEFL iBT reports each section and the overall score on a 1–6 scale in half-point steps, aligned with CEFR levels; the overall is the average of the four sections rounded to the nearest half band (ETS). See how the 1–6 scale works and convert a target with the TOEFL to IELTS converter. The Bulletin notes that only tests taken before 21 January 2026, and TOEFL iBT Australia, are currently approved for Australian visas. Compare costs with the IELTS fee in Australia and the PTE fee in Australia.
