PTE rules at UNE
When a PTE score is used, it must have been gained within two years of the date of application for admission, and UNE will not consider take-home or online versions of IELTS, TOEFL or PTE, so PTE Academic Online is out. The page does not mention PTE Core or a Pearson code.
UNE also says it may ask for extra English evidence or higher scores as part of its Genuine Student assessment and overall admission risk, so meeting 57 does not guarantee an offer.

If your PTE falls short
The requirements page refers you to UNE's English Language Requirements policy for other ways to meet the standard; it does not list PTE entry points for a pathway course.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UNE programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
