Test rules and how PTE compares with IELTS
The page does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a sending method for PTE.
On the same page, associate and bachelor's applicants need IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 71 iBT, so PTE 52 sits beside IELTS 6.0. Master's and doctoral applicants need IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 79 iBT (80 for the MBA).

If you fall short
UAA accepts a completed waiver form as an alternative proof of English. The page does not describe a conditional admission or ESL route with a PTE entry point.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UAA programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
