How SISTC handles TOEFL scores

For the bachelor's degree, SISTC asks for one of its listed results completed within the last two years. The page gives overall TOEFL scores only.

SISTC gives its TOEFL figures on the 0 to 120 scale. Since January 2026 TOEFL iBT score reports also carry a 1 to 6 band score; see the new TOEFL score scale.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 6.0 for the Bachelor of Information Technology and 6.5 with no band below 6.0 for the master's course.

Your offer and your visa are separate. Home Affairs says that for a TOEFL iBT result to be valid for Australian visa purposes you must select 'Taking TOEFL for Australia' when you register, and it lists TOEFL iBT Home Edition among the online tests it does not accept (Home Affairs English page).

If your TOEFL score is below SISTC's level

The page does not set a TOEFL pathway or conditional score. For the bachelor's degree it also accepts 12 months of study completed in Australia, a C or better in A Level English, or listed scores in PTE, Cambridge, the Kaplan Test of English and Duolingo.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your SISTC programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
