Hi. I’m an occupational therapist as well. I submitted my documents through SkillSelect for the 189 VISA in June 2019. My total # of points used to be 70, but was changed to 80 in November 2019. Still no response as of now. Does it usually take this long?

I also got my 190 visa last month, and I plan to do my initial entry this coming May 2020. As for job prospects, there are plenty of jobs for OT in Adelaide but most of them are not aware about the supervised practice for overseas trained OT so let them know the process, and some of them are willing to do the supervised practice for you. For starter, start ka na mag-apply a few months before your big move kasi it will take time for OTC and AHPRA to process your papers for supervised practice.

Try to use Seek.com.au for job search. If you need a supervisor, one of our professors in UST lives in SA and is willing to do the supervised practice. Kilala mo naman siguro siya.

Better ask her pala. My colleague just told me she is willing to do the supervised practice but am not sure if she still does.

Thank you the very helpful response! So this prof from UST in SA- i think i know her too hehe, what batch are you sir? I plan to apply for jobs around 4 months prior to our 1st entry. Do you think that is ideal?

Hi Guys. Question po. Meron po ba kayo kakilala na nakakuha ng student visa for BS Occupational Therapy pero malayo ang work experience and course na natapos? Planning to study sana pero ang work experience ko is sales (gym membership)

Hello po hehe. I'm still in uni BS Speech-Language Pathology. Tanong ko lang po kung kelangan ng masters para sa speech therapist para maapprove yung visa tsaka maging member ng SPA? Kasi nireresearch ko iba daw bachelor's degree sa Australia parang di equivalent yung bachelor's degree natin. Balak ko kasi sana magaccumulate ng ilang years muna ng experience bago mag-apply kahit bachelors lang meron. Thank you!

Hello po, fellow OTs! 🙂) Would just like to ask if kamusta ang current practice ngayon diyan? May nageencourage kasi sa akin na magapply kaso pandemic pa kaya feeling ko mahihirapan pa if ever 🙁 Practicing for 2 years pa lang po with experience in pediatrics, academe, and correctional centers. WFOT accredited din po ang univ ko pala 😊

Hi fellow OTs! May ask po sana ako about OT in Australia. I graduated from University of Perpetual Help- Las piñas. Sadly di pa kami WFOT accredited pero yung Biñan po is accredited. We went to our Dean po today and sabi po di po honored yung Doctor of OT and Masters sa UK, New Zealand and Australia. Tapos may tinawagan po Dean namin na student niya before from UPHSD-LP na nag try mag pasa ng application sa OTC, na decline since not WFOT accredited pero nag appeal po siya and then na accept po licensed OT na po siya sa Australia. We are thinking po na mag take ng risk mag pasa ng documents sa OTC ngayon. Any advice po for our situation? Yung curriculum naman daw po namin Batch 2018 is patterned na po sa US din. Also may 2 years experience na din po kami sa work. Thank you po! ❤️

Are you talking about migration or employment. These are two separate things to deal with. You first have to be assessed to be able to migrate. That’s step 1 then step 2 is to get qualified so you can be employable.

If you want to work in the US, the entry-level requirement for OT is Masters, we are the last batch of OTs who took the NBCOT exam with a bachelor degree (we were grandfathered as what they called it in the states). For Australia, OTC only accepts graduates from WFOT accredited university, dapat din WFOT accredited din at the time of your graduation like sa UST 2010 onwards.

You may consider taking MSOT in UST or CDU, then take NBCOT in the states. UK is another option too.

This is noted Sir! Thank you! However, our Dean and also the head of perpetual Binan told us na Doctor of OT and MSOT is not yet recognized in Australia, UK and New Zealand po 🙁 But will still consider this one po. Thank you po! ❤️
