Moved to the international forum

You need to check on the BRN website and see which, if any, English exams are required. Not all states require English exams and if you have come over on Fiancée visa then you will not need VSC which does require English exams

I do not see anything on the BRN website to indicate you do need English exams but you need to check yourself

Now employers may ask for it especially if they have problems understanding you when you go for an interview and some employers will ask for English exams
