The Department of Home Affairs will be allowing additional time for Temporary Graduate 485 applicants to provide results for English language testing where COVID-19 has disrupted access to services.
For Time of Application requirements to be met, COVID affected applicants must provide, at time of lodgement, evidence they have an appointment booked for a English language test, or provide evidence that are unable to book a test where the centre is closed.
The requirement must still be met in full, that is, applicants must provide evidence they have sat and achieved the appropriate score in an English language test in order for their Temporary Graduate Visas to be granted. Please note the English language test must be administered by a Departmentally accredited provider. Currently, online or home edition test results are not acceptable forms of evidence
