In a move to offer more flexibility and options for international students, Australia has updated its English language requirements for visa purposes. As of August 7, 2025, the number of accepted English Language Tests (ELT) has been increased from five to nine.
This change is fantastic news for students worldwide. It gives you a broader range of test providers to choose from, which can be particularly helpful if certain tests are more accessible or affordable in your region. The update also aims to ensure consistent scoring across all accepted providers, making the process more streamlined and fair for everyone.
