Great news for healthcare professionals seeking to work in Australia! The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) has renewed its agreement with OET, confirming that OET test results will continue to be accepted for registration across all regulated health professions in the country.
This comes after the Department of Home Affairs (DoHA) confirmed OET as an approved English test for visa applications. Together, these approvals reinforce Australiaโs commitment to supporting skilled healthcare workers while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.

โช OET is tailored for healthcare professionals, assessing English in real clinical scenarios rather than generic tasks.
โช With both Ahpra and DoHA approvals, your OET results can be used for registration and visa purposes, streamlining the process.
โช Recent changes to Ahpraโs English Language Skills Standard have made registration more accessible, including lowering the minimum writing score to C+, while keeping strong requirements for listening, reading, and speaking.
Jaime Cortes, CEO of OET, said:
โThis renewal highlights the critical role OET plays in global healthcare mobility. We thank Ahpra and the Department of Home Affairs for their continued trust. Together, weโre enabling more healthcare professionals to safely and meaningfully contribute to Australian communities.โ
Australiaโs backing of OET reflects the importance of clear communication in healthcare. The test is now recognised not only in Australia, but also by medical regulators and governments in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, the US, Canada, and more โ making it the worldโs most widely accepted English test for healthcare professionals.
For healthcare professionals aspiring to work internationally, OET provides a profession-focused, practical pathway for registration, visas, and career mobility, ensuring your language skills match real-world clinical requirements.ย
