Hi there uk passport holders get 15 points the info is on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship

Exemptions: Applicants who hold a passport from one of the countries listed below will not be required to sit the IELTS test to demonstrate that they meet the English language threshold:

• United Kingdom (UK)
• Canada
• New Zealand

You must demonstrate that you meet the English language threshold. In most cases, this is at the competent English level. If your nominated occupation is a trade occupation, the threshold is vocational English.

Points awarded

You will be awarded points based on your English language ability at the time you lodge your application.
