After that period, refunds will only be processed if applied by the close of the test taker's registered test window and an administration charge of AUD75 (including GST) will be deducted. After the 14-day period: refunds will only occur in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law; and an administration charge of AUD75 (including GST) will be deducted.
