I'm currently contemplating moving from the United States to Australia (Queensland). I read that one of the immigration requirements was to complete the IELTS test.

Because I'm already from a primarily english-speaking country, do I receive any exemptions? Is the test waived entirely?

  • I haven't looked at Australia, but I have seen other governments which waive language tests if one has a university degree from an English-speaking country; you might search from that point of view.

According to this webpage, just having a USA passport is enough to guarantee "competent English."

I reached that page by following the pages that discuss applying for permanent residency based on points-based work visa.

One possibility for taking the test anyway is if you need some points.
