Is IELTS required for my study abroad application in Australia/USA for a Master's?

Yes, IELTS is typically required for master's applications to the USA and Australia. Most universities in these countries ask for proof of English language proficiency, and IELTS is widely accepted.

Some universities may offer waivers if you have prior education in English or accept other recognized English tests, but this varies by institution and program.
