Before you apply
Melbourne publishes its undergraduate English requirements on one page. See Melbourne's English requirements.
Melbourne calls these indicative scores: you need at least this score, the prerequisites and its English requirements to be considered, and meeting them doesn't guarantee an offer.
Below the minimum? Trinity College Foundation Studies: Melbourne's Vietnam page lists completing Trinity College's Foundation Studies program, and meeting its minimum entry score, as a way in. Details
Meeting a published figure doesn't guarantee an offer, and some courses also have subject prerequisites, portfolios or interviews. Confirm everything with Melbourne before you apply.
