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.

SBS之前文章的解释

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?
