At the British Council, the health and safety of our staff, customers and the communities in which we operate is our top priority. Thank you for working with us as we follow the advice of the health authorities and government in our response to the spread of Covid-19 in Australia.

As an added safety protocol amid the increasing Covid-19 cases and following New South Wales Government guidance, we are requiring all candidates to present a proof of full vaccination (actual vaccination card or certificate). A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their last dose. This requirement is for the health and safety of all test-takers. If you are unable to comply with this at this point, we apologise that you may request a transfer or refund.
