COVID-19 Safe procedures at test centres

COVID-19 is still declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation.

ACER will take precautionary measures within its reasonable control as recommended by public health authorities in Australia in respect of its test venues. It is each individual candidate’s responsibility to familiarise themselves with and follow any precautionary measures recommended by public health authorities in a candidate’s state or territory.

    • are awaiting results of the COVID-19 test.
    • are not feeling well or have any COVID-19 symptoms.
    • live with or have been advised to be a close contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case.
