Am I eligible?
The Australian Government is strengthening the requirements to become an Australian citizen. This includes:
Increasing the general residence requirement, which means an applicant for Australian citizenship will need to demonstrate a minimum of four years permanent residence immediately prior to their application for citizenship
Introducing an English language test, which means applicants will need to demonstrate competent English language listening, speaking, reading and writing skills before being able to sit the citizenship test
Strengthening the Australian Values Statement to include reference to allegiance to Australia and require applicants to make an undertaking to integrate into and contribute to the Australian community
Strengthening the test for Australian citizenship through the addition of new test questions about Australian values, and the privileges and responsibilities of Australian citizenship
Introducing a requirement for applicants to demonstrate their integration into the Australian community
Strengthening the Pledge of commitment as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Australia in the Australian Citizenship Act 2007 to refer to allegiance to Australia; and extending the requirement for individuals aged 16 years and over to make the Pledge to all streams of citizenship by application, including citizenship by descent, adoption and resumption.
Subject to the passage of legislation required to enact some of the measures, the changes will come into effect, and apply to applications made from the date of the Government's announcement on 20 April 2017.
The changes apply to citizenship applications lodged on and after 20 April 2017. The changes do not apply to applications made before 20 April 2017.

雅思官网关于competent English定义如下
https://www.ielts.org/about-the-test/how-ielts-is-scored
移民局官网入籍要求既然定义为competent English，以下链接就是competent English的定义，当然这个competent English的链接并没有说是给入籍使用，因为之前是适应186 187 189 190等等签证，后面那个三年是给这些签证来详细定义，但是入籍要competent English这个事实应该是改变不了了，同时移民局一个官网应该不会出现两种定义
最近递交入籍申请的估计还没有审理到所以没有案子我们来做一下参照，具体相关的细节估计很快就会有参照了，等等看吧进一步有无豁免要求没有详细写，等等完善吧
其他两种英语level的定义
How can I prove I have functional English?
An International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test result of an average band score of at least 4.5 based on the four test components of speaking, reading, listening and writing. Your test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.

How can I prove I have vocational English?
You have achieved a score of at least 5 in each of the four test components (speaking, reading, listening and writing) in an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test that has been undertaken in the three years immediately prior to lodging the visa application.

而且只说要一定英语水平又没说一定要雅思6分，大家都在等细则

我又写了一下你看看
评论
大多数情况是用雅思了，因为最近雅思行业没有以前景气
评论
雅思发财了

雅思四个六。。。。“写作“肯定会成为巨大障碍。
评论
雅思考试中心笑了
评论
不入了呗
评论
这个确定是入籍的英语要求?为什么写的是prior to lodging the visa application
评论
很多年前考过。不知道可不可以用。也不知道可否找回成绩单
评论
雅思有效期只有二年还是三年？所以PR四年基本上都得重新考？？应该还会有具体细则的吧，独立技术移民本来英语要求就四个七，现在再考四个六？？
评论
那位层主的重点是在“visa application"的前3年，而不是citizenship application的前3年。
评论
60岁以上可以免考英文吗？
评论
不会是考学术类吧。。。
评论
我都说了LZ帖子里说的确定是入籍的要求？明明白白写的是申请签证的要求，prior to lodging the visa application, not for lodging the citizenship application，看贴不仔细。官方细则都还没出呢，光看一个competent的要求就把移民签证申请的英语要求划等号是不是操之过急了。
评论
雅思4个6，要疯了。。。
评论
这个肯定不是入籍用的细则，每个要求都是prior to lodging the visa application，如果这是真的话，所以pr获得签证前没有达标的话，就没有机会了，显然这是不可能的
评论
平均6分还差不多，4个6有点难了
评论
visa 指 PR, 肯定不是 citizen.
评论
移民局官网入籍要求既然定义为competent English，那我只是给查了一下competent English的定义，当然这个competent English的链接并非纯粹是给入籍使用，同样适应186 187 189 190签证，后面那个三年是给这些签证来详细定义，但是入籍要competent English这个事实应该是改变不了了，同时移民局一个官网应该不会出现两种定义，这是我个人的感觉
最近递交入籍申请的估计还没有审理到所以没有案子我们来做一下参照，具体相关的细节估计很快就会有参照了，等等看吧
评论
在澳洲生活了十年
估计听力，口语没问题
写作估计要特训一下
评论
楼主有做微信公众号小编的潜质，
一惊一乍，听风就是雨
评论
还有两种 4.5 和 5分 是给什么人群啊？ 还有会像英国一样 有大学学位的人豁免语言考试么？
评论
仁兄这是官网解释
评论
用一下你的common sense好不好？这个根本就是不可行的，绝对不可能真正实施的，等着看好了
评论
目前还没有人审理到，估计也快了，要不咱堵一顿快餐吧，定在20以内
