After Ph.D. do I still need to take a Toefl test to prove my English capability?

I hold a Ph.D. degree obtained from an Asian country and I am applying for an Australia work visa. I have no problem with using English (I've written my Master's and Ph.D. theses in English and have multiple publications in English.) However, is it mandatory that I take a TOEFL test and submit the score? By the way, I've attended a TOEFL test 6 years ago and obtained a score much higher than that required for the visa application. I know it has expired, but could I upload it and then explain that I can still good at English because my Ph.D. study had required me to use it daily? *** This is different from the existing questions, 1st of all, this one is for the Australia visa application. 2nd of all, this is a working visa. *** The problem is, if I take the TOEFL test now, I cannot apply for the visa in time..
