Overview of OET – Occupational English Test

The English language test for Healthcare professionals

OET is a well-respected English language test for the healthcare sector, established in the late 1980s. It was developed under contract to the Australian Federal Government. The test was designed by Professor Tim McNamara at the University of Melbourne – one of the original developers of IELTS (International English Language Testing System).

Backed by over 30 years of research by the Language Testing Research Centre (LTRC) at the University of Melbourne, OET has gone through a continuous cycle of research, validation and evaluation to ensure it is fit for purpose and relevant today. The test is now owned by Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment, a venture between Cambridge English and Box Hill Institute.
