The cost for NAATI certified translation will depend on the type of the document, usually standard documents like birth certificates or licences will cost less. The more documents you have, the lower the cost as well because a discount can usually be applied for many documents. Generally, it will be good to prepare a budget of $80-110 per page for certified translation, which will not be very different from professional non-certified translation that includes proof-reading.
