Both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training are accepted by the Australian Department of Home Affairs for visa purposes.
It is up to the individual education provider to determine which test is fit for purpose, and the test taker to ensure they meet all visa requirements.
The IELTS Academic test is suitable for those wanting to study at a university in an English-speaking environment. It can also be used for professional registration purposes (eg. doctors and lawyers).
The IELTS General Training test is suitable for those applying to study below degree level. This includes TAFE, the VET sector, and English schools or colleges. It can also be taken for work experience or other employment training
