@kmma you can do either... as long as you have all the supporting docs of your work experience in the past 10 years, I reckon walang issue with Immi. But, if want EA to give their opinion if your experience is relevant to claim pts. pwede din...
In my case I did relevant skilled assessment twice, meaning dalawang beses ako nagbayad for the RSA.
The good side is, nagamit ko sya for employment...
May mga employer kasi na di naniniwala sa experience overseas lalo na sa Pinas.
So, sabi ko during my interview, my experience overseas is recognised by Engineer's Australia and I'm a member of the Institution.
Goodluck...
