If you pass on your first attempt, the total is AUD 3,355. At \u20b966 per AUD 1, that is about \u20b92,21,430.<\/p>\r\n<p>Here are the main points to remember:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The Eligibility Check and the Skills Assessment Outcome fees are non-refundable.<\/li>\r\n<li>You can get only a partial refund of the exam fee (80%), and only if APC approves your request.<\/li>\r\n<li>You pay in Australian dollars through the APC Candidate Portal only. The final amount in rupees depends on the exchange rate and your bank\u2019s charges.<\/li>\r\n<li>APC has published three exam sessions for 2027, so you can plan your payments around the registration dates.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Make sure your documents are complete before you apply for the Eligibility Check, because that fee cannot be refunded. Prepare well for the <a href=\"https:\/\/eliteexpertise.com\/opra-exam-preparation-course\/\">OPRA exam<\/a>, because every resit costs the full fee again. These fees are from the APC website at the time of writing. Please check the APC fees page again before you pay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"ee-faq\">\r\n<h3>How much is the OPRA exam fee in 2027?<\/h3>\r\n<p>APC currently lists the OPRA exam fee as AUD 2,245 per attempt.<\/p>\r\n<h3>How much is the OPRA Eligibility Check fee?<\/h3>\r\n<p>It is AUD 810 per request.
