Want to work in Australia but worried that your English isn’t good enough? Typically, to get a work visa, you will need 5.0 – 7.0 in IELTS (or equivalent), but if you are applying for a 457 visa (Employer-Sponsored Temporary Work Visa), there are a few exceptions.
You may be exempt if you are applying for 457 and fulfill any one of the below criteria:
- Your salary exceeds the English Language Skills Exemption Threshold, currently at $96,400AUD; or
- You have completed at least 5 years of full-time study in a secondary or higher education institution; or
- You hold a passport from Canada, NZ, Ireland, UK or USA
