@"jayr.cruz" Here's part of the email I got from POLO Canberra last time I inquired about OEC processing... I am not sure if the quoted fees are current considering this was as of mid 2018.
_Please be informed that POLO Australia is processing OEC for vacationing Filipinos under the Balik Manggagawa Program of POEA. Please be further informed that the OEC is only valid for sixty days from the date of issuance.
Kindly create your BM Online Account if you do not still have or Reactivate if you have existing account through this website http://www.bmonline.ph/ The instructions can be read or viewed in the website itself. Upload a full face picture with white background. (Note: In filling out the portion of Contract Details, the Latest Departure date is your latest flight from the Philippines going to Australia while the Latest Arrival date is your arrival in the Philippines for your next vacation)
Then set an appointment for the processing of your OEC by clicking the green button "Acquire OEC or Exemption" and choose the location: POLO Oceana Branch: Australia Yarralumla. Please make sure that your return to Australia is within the sixty day validity of the OEC from the date of your appointment. Once appointment was successfully made, kindly print out the copy of appointment and affix your signature.
Please take note that you do not need to appear personally to POLO Office for your scheduled appointment. **The following are the requirements needed in securing an OEC which you need to send through courier c/o Philippine Embassy 1 Moonah Place Yarralumla ACT 2600 at least a day before your date of appointment:
signed employment contract
copy of your passport and visa
Signed Information Sheet generated from the BM Online appointment (go to "My Transactions")
Australian Money Order for the fees which can be bought from the Post Office
Self addressed envelope where we can post back your verified contract and receipts**
The following are the fees: Verification is AU$18, OWWA Membership is AU$25 and OEC is AU$5 payable to Philippine Embassy POLO through Australian Money Order amounting to AU$48.00
Your processed OEC will be sent to your BM Online Account under "My Transaction" then print it out before your flight to Australia which you need to present before the immigration. You may enter the BM Online OEC Number on your next application for OEC and will be exempted from payment if you are returning to the same Employer and Jobsite.
Thank you.
