Taking the JLPT from Australia

For English-speaking learners in Australia, this page keeps the JLPT facts local and honest — the real test sittings near you, the real pass marks, and the real corridor rules.

Test cities & sittings

Australia has 6 test cities, 2 with both July and December sittings, 1 July-only, 2 December-only. Many overseas cities hold only one of the two sittings — always confirm your city's month before you plan.

Practise before you register

The JLPT is held twice a year (July and December); many overseas cities offer only one sitting, so your window may be tighter than you expect. Practise the three tested sections — Language Knowledge, Reading and Listening — with honest readiness estimates against each level's real pass mark before you book. The certificate never expires.
