If my memory serves me correctly, if you are English you don't need to do an english test providing english is your first language and i would presume it is!
Someone else will be able to confirm this i'm sure. I certainly didnt do any test.

Hiya,

No - didnt do one with my application. My agent advised me that since we're British by birth and have English as a first language it was not necessary.

Look on the bright side - one less thing to worry about :)

Its only if you are from a non English speaking country. ie. Lets say Thailand. My wife is Thai and speaks great English. But she may or may not have to sit a test. She wants to. Aparently non English speakers get free English lessons in OZ. Not That she needs them. Also at the moment I'm an English Teacher in LOS(Land of Smiles).. :) :)
