It is the only major English language test with a face-to-face speaking assessment, which means that you can be confident that your score will truly reflect your ability in real life situations. More and more people are applying to Australia for study, work and migration purposes with the British Council IELTS.

STUDY OR WORK IN AUSTRALIA

IELTS scores are accepted by top universities and organisations in Australia, and over 6,000 institutions worldwide, as proof of English language proficiency.

They recognise that IELTS gives an accurate reflection of your ability to understand, read, write and speak English. This is because the test has been developed by some of the world’s leading experts in English language assessment.

Take IELTS to prove you have the right language skills to learn in Australia.

MIGRATE TO AUSTRALIA

Governments such as Australia use IELTS to process immigration and student visa applications. Even native English speakers need an English language qualification to migrate to some English-speaking countries.

IELTS is an integral part of the immigration process under the Australia Migration Visa. This test is required for the principal applicant as well as spouse and adult dependents above 18 years of age, unless you are lucky to be included in the category of people who are exempted to appear for the IELTS test.

You will need to check the IELTS scores as well as the correct version (Academic or General Training) for migration needed in Australia before you book your IELTS test.

You can find out more about immigration and student visa application procedures by visiting the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship website.
