Other tests and ELICOS
The page does not list PTE, TOEFL, Cambridge or Duolingo scores, test validity or waivers. For the Bachelor of Information Systems it says ELICOS can be packaged if you do not meet the English requirement.
The only other entry rule on the page is age: applicants must be 18 or over at the time of application or enrolment, not only by commencement.

How to check
The Diploma of Business appears in Ozford's navigation, but the page gives no English requirement for it.
Requirements vary by course and can change between intakes. The score that binds you is the one on your Ozford course page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test. Your student visa is assessed separately, under the Department of Home Affairs Student visa (subclass 500) rules.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Ozford Institute of Higher Education publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
