Sorry i'm kinda new here.. Our (my husband and i) visa was granted recently. It's a state sponsored visa. My husband was the primary applicant. We plan to go to Perth by September of this year and I was wondering if I still need to take an IELTS to get a job there. I was his dependent in the application and i only gave my university's 'english as a medium of instruction' form as proof of functional english. I never took an ielts. Do employers there look for this before they hire you?
Thanks a lot and i'm really happy for all of us.
