UCAT ANZ fees
The concession is for people named on a current Australian Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, including dependants. You apply first and get a voucher code to use when you pay. It isn't available for tests outside Australia, and a Medicare card or a New Zealand Community Services Card doesn't count.
| Item | Fee (2026, AUD) |
|---|---|
| Test in Australia or New Zealand | $335 |
| Concession (Australia only) | $240 |
| Test outside Australia and New Zealand | $405 |
| Late booking | $85 on top, not refundable |
| Final late booking | $185 on top, not refundable |
| Cancelling by the deadline | Refund minus $50 |
| Rescheduling after 29 June | $25 |
Should you sit the UCAT or UCAT ANZ?
If you're applying in Australia or New Zealand, even if you're also applying to the UK, sit UCAT ANZ: universities there accept only UCAT ANZ results. If you're applying only to UK universities or the UCAT's international partners, sit the UK UCAT. Sitting both in the same year counts as misconduct.
To use a UCAT ANZ result at UK universities, complete the UCAT ANZ Results Collection Form (the 2026 deadline was 22 October).
How booking and test day differ
- You book through a UCAT ANZ Pearson account. If you've had one before, use it again: more than one account isn't allowed. A school can't register for you.
- Your booking is only confirmed when you get a confirmation email and the appointment shows in your account.
- The test is only taken at a test centre, in Australia, New Zealand or one of many overseas locations.
- Pearson emails you within 24 hours of your test with access to your score report.
- You can sit UCAT ANZ once per test cycle.
