English Language Requirements

If you are interested in relocating to Australia for work, you will need to demonstrate that you have a certain level of English language proficiency before you can move. A widely accepted international measurement for English language skills is the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

What is IELTS?

IELTS is a testing system that assesses the language ability of people who need to work or study in an environment where English is the spoken and written language. The test consists of four components: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
