Getting to Work in Australia Just Got Easier

Educational Testing Service (ETS) welcomes the Australian Government announcement that the TOEFL iBT® test can be used to demonstrate English-language competence for new skilled migration and post-study applications.

Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator the Hon. Michaelia Cash, announced the change effective as of November 23.

David Payne, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Global Education for ETS, said the Government's reform will help Australian employers address skill shortages by gaining better and broader access to the global pool of potential employees.

"ETS's 50 years of experience in the Australian market showed us that employers were missing out in the global competition for skills due to disjointed visa English-language proficiency settings," said Mr. Payne. "Skilled migrants were choosing to go elsewhere, like the United States and Canada."
