I didn't get registered- yet

Dear Doctor Mohamed Tarmizi,
Thank you for your email.
I’m writing to advise that your application has not been approved at this stage, due to the fact that your IELTS results do not meet the criteria of the current English language proficiency policy. The policy requires that a score of at least 7.0 be achieved in each of the four categories in order to qualify. I have attached a copy of the policy document for your reference.
Before your application for registration can proceed, you will need to re-sit and pass all four components of the IELTS exam.
If you have any further queries regarding this matter, please contact the Registrations Department.
Yours sincerely,
Registrations Officer

It is certainly another sad day for me. My results were considered not good enough for the Australians. FYI, I got 7.5,7.5,6.5 and 9 (full marks) for IELTS. It seems the 6.5 (short of 0.5 for writing was considered a failure). I am certainly “malas” to take the exams again. It is not cheap. I was hoping they would reconsider and make exemptions but unfortunately NOT. May be a 6.5 (for writing) could not assure patient's safety.?.?
