Dear Jay,
The minimum cut-off for IELTS is 6.5 overall with no band less than 6, your CGPA is very good and you qualify on that score for admission to a good university. You need to retake your IELTS or go in for an ELICOS course leading to qualifying marks and then your Masters. The other alternative is taking good coaching for the IELTS both for language and the test and retake it to get qualifying scores. The cost is less.
You can check out Deakin University, University of Western Sydney, RMIT, University of Sydney, La Trobe and others for your course. Please ensure you enroll for a Masters with 2-year duration as anything with a lesser duration will not make you eligible for a post-study work visa and PR later. All the best.
