La Trobe College Australia TOEFL rules
The table gives one TOEFL iBT figure per program, on the 0 to 120 scale, with a writing minimum only. The Diploma of Health Sciences needs IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) when the packaged course is the Bachelor of Nursing or Occupational Therapy (Honours); the page gives no TOEFL figure for that case.
TOEFL iBT score reports from January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score; our guide to the new TOEFL score scale explains how the two scales appear on a report.
For comparison, the same table asks IELTS 5.5 (no band below 5.0) for Foundation Studies and 6.0 (no band below 5.5) for the science and health diplomas.
