I have chosen IELTS, because it is cheaper and reflects more what you can deal with than how you can circle the grammar closed questions. I liked that test, because you can handle the topics of the two essays there as you wish.

It was pretty much easier than I thought. I think my experience relies much on my background since I'm bilingual (English and Italian), and the university I was applying to needed a certification to prove that.

It was a nervous experience despite having grew up in the USA. But I managed to pull through and do it

I knew from one of my friends that IELTS is one of the best tests. I made a little research online upon the language tests and I decided to take IELTS.

It was good it was computer based and my first time taking the IELTS exam, although I had taken mock exams for 3-4 times the previous months. The talking part I did not like. I do not understand the amount of stuff I have to say on the top of my head.

Key takeaways

IELTS remains migration-approved: IELTS continues to be officially recognized by the Australian government for visa and migration purposes.
New agreement signed: A renewed three-year deal with Australia’s Department of Home Affairs secures IELTS’s trusted status through at least 2028.

IELTS in Australia Great news! On 31 July 2025, the IELTS Partners, British Council, IDP Education, and Cambridge University Press & Assessment, signed a new three-year agreement with Australia’s Department of Home Affairs.

Why This Matters for You

IELTS Academic and General Training remain approved for migration, meaning your score will continue to be recognized and trusted by Australian authorities.
The agreement also preserves the benefit of the IELTS One Skill Retake (OSR) for most visa subclasses — an incredibly helpful option to improve one test section without re-taking the whole exam. (Note: visas 476, 482, and 485 still require a full-sitting score.)

This long-standing partnership began in 2001, marking IELTS as the first English test officially recognised for Australian migration- and this new agreement continues that trusted legacy.
