Location can change the price
IELTS Australia says most centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide use the standard fee, while some regional locations may charge slightly more. The exact centre, date and product in the booking system control. There is no separate late-booking or payment-processing fee stated for the standard Australian booking, but other transaction costs may come from the payment provider.

Choose the correct test
Academic and General Training have the same standard Australian price but are not interchangeable for every purpose. Visa subclasses, professional registration bodies, education providers and employers can specify the accepted test type, format, component scores and result age. UKVI and Life Skills are UK products and should not be booked merely because they cost differently.
One Skill Retake and remark
One Skill Retake availability and acceptance must be checked for the organisation receiving the result. An Enquiry on Results is a remark request, not a guaranteed score increase; IELTS Australia currently charges AUD 230 regardless of the number of modules selected. Read the refund and deadline rules before requesting it.
How many invitations does your occupation get?

Budget correctly
The test fee is only one part of language preparation. Add travel and optional preparation only when actually incurred. Do not present a package-course price as an official IELTS charge or promise that paying for a remark or retake will satisfy a visa score.
