So you want to move to the land down under, but there are a million English test options, and you don’t know which one to choose…
Well, if you’re a healthcare professional, taking the OET is likely to give you an edge on your Australian visa application AND your job.
It’s a key distinction: The OET assesses your English skills in real-life healthcare scenarios.
Where normal academic English tests can ask you to speak on a number of topics (from fashion to politics to any other random subject), the OET focuses on your specific field. It ensures that you’re prepared to live in Australia AND also be able to work effectively at your job from day 1.
Tom Keenan, Regional Director in APAC from OET is on the episode with me to share many more benefits (like its international transferability) and what more you can expect from the test.
Key Topics:
- What is OET?
- Where is OET accepted?
- Proficiency levels based on professions
- Who is OET right for?
- Types of occupations OET is designed for
- Preparing for the OET test
- How to take the OET test?

Behind the Scenes at Australian Migration
Saison 1 · Épisode 7
jeudi 13 avril 2023 • Durée 53:10
In today's episode of 'Making Australian Migration Easy', Rhea finds herself in the hot seat – being interviewed by Krunal Nayak, for his podcast 'My Australian Journey'. If you've enjoyed Rhea's insights into the Australian migration process thus far, then episode is an absolute must!
From dealing with immigration detention in the past, to the Brisbane Olympics in the future, Krunal asks Rhea to shine her light on not only her Australian journey, but where she sees the country going too.
Rhea jokes that she came from the 'dark side' when she was working for Australian immigration and that now she's using her powers for good. And of course there's a great deal of truth in her jest as she illuminates contentious topics such as 'why is my visa taking so long' by debunking some of the behind-the-scenes mystery, while still being Australia's greatest advocate.
All she is asking is that you go about your migration pathway the right way, by hiring a migration lawyer and/or seeking a consultation with a company such as hers, SOLVi Migration. That way you can get Down Under without going about it in a roundabout way, or getting too down when your application falters. Please join us!
