Hi,

im just wondering if i, as a secondary applicant, still need an IELTS
result as an evidance of my Englsh level?
I have a post-grad degree from university in Brisbane (2 years study),
and 1 year working experience in Brisbane. Isn't it enough to prove
that at least i have functional level of English? or do i still have to
do the IELTS test? hhhhmm????? anyone can give suggestion?

thanks,
indri
