Which IELTS test to practice
For Australian skills assessments, which IELTS module to practice depends on the assessing authority for your occupation. Some authorities accept only IELTS Academic, some accept IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training, and some require no English test. For the skilled visa, the Department of Home Affairs accepts both modules at the same scores. Listening and Speaking are the same in both; only Reading and Writing differ.
The score to aim for
Any IELTS score for the skills assessment is set by the assessing authority for your occupation. The points-tested Skilled Independent (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) (subclass 491) visas need at least Competent English at the time of invitation. In IELTS, that is 6 in each of Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Citizens of Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States with a valid passport from that country also meet Competent English. On the points test, Competent English earns 0 points, Proficient English (7 in each skill) earns 10 and Superior English (8 in each skill) earns 20.
Before you book the real test
Your assessing authority is listed against your occupation in the list of eligible skilled occupations. For visa purposes, Home Affairs does not accept English tests delivered completely online, including IELTS Online. Check before you book: Skills assessment.
