When completing your registration, you must upload a recent photo of yourself. Please provide a passport-like photo showing your head and shoulders against a plain background. Scanned copies of ID documents are not accepted. The photo provided will be checked for compliance and, if deemed unsuitable, you will be asked to resubmit a new photo before your test.
The ACER FA Exam Office will communicate with you by email throughout your registration. Please ensure you provide a valid email address and monitor it regularly. It is best to use a personal email address to avoid account access issues if you change your workplace.
Please follow any instructions that are emailed to you. To avoid spam filters, add faexam@acer.org to your trusted contact list.

The FA Exam fee is $1500.00 per sitting.
Payments must be completed by the due date for the relevent test cycle.
If you need to re-sit the FA Exam, the full fee must be paid again.
Fees must be paid directly to ASIC via their payment portal before your registration with ACER is complete. Only Mastercard or Visa credit/debit cards are accepted.
When completing your payment, please ensure that the information you enter is exactly the same as what was entered when registering for your FA Exam. Application IDs must be entered in full (e.g. FA123456) with the 'FA' at the start and no spaces between letters or numerals. Misentering your ID will delay your payment being reconciled with your FA exam registration.
You will receive a payment confirmation email from ASIC once the transaction is completed. Please check your junk/spam folder if you do not receive the email.
Two-factor authentication is used for your FA Exam registration account to keep your account secure. When you log into your ACER account, you will be required to input your application ID and password, you will then be directed to input an additional verification code from your registered device (usually phone). This code is usually generated in your authentication app.
