IMMIGRATION CHANGES IN AUSTRALIA – September 2021 Update

In the previous month, Pearson introduced three changes to its PTE Academic test in order to improve the experience of those who take it. Australia also announced the establishment of an Agriculture visa, much to the delight of the farming business.

Modifications to the Pearson PTE Academic English Test
Three changes to the PTE Academic English test have been announced by Pearson PTE and will be introduced on November 16th:

• A shorter test

PTE Academic is reducing in length, from three hours to a more convenient two hours. We will test the same English skills, using the same question types, but with fewer questions.

• Enhanced score report feedback

A new personalized ‘skills profile’* alongside your PTE Academic score report will give additional feedback on your performance and provide suggestions for how to improve.

• At-home English tests

Sit your English test any time, anywhere with PTE Academic Online – a secure version of our test that you can take on your home computer. Availability depends on your institution and country. More detail coming in October.

A new Agriculture visa has been announced by the Australian government. Employees in agriculture, fisheries, and forestry will be eligible for this visa, which will build on the highly successful Pacific programmes already in place.

At the time of the announcement, it was anticipated that legislation allowing the creation of the Agriculture visa would be in place by the end of September 2021.

Based on bilateral agreements, the Agriculture visa will be available to applicants from a number of countries once it is formed.
