Certified documents
Every visa application requires various supporting documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, proof of identity etc.
Unless asked to do otherwise, you should provide 'certified copies' of original documents, rather than the original documents.
'Certified copies' have been authorised (or stamped) as being true copies of originals, by a person or agency recognised by the law of the country in which you live. All departmental offices outside Australia have a person who can certify or witness documents. You may have to pay for this service.
Police certificates are the exception. You must provide original police certificates with your application.

I`m an Arts Management grad but has been working in the BPO industry for the longest time. Hindi ko na na.practice yung course ko.
Nung March 2013, I had the opportunity to work here in Thailand as a Kindergarten-English teacher. Malayo sya sa pinag-aralan ko pero I really wanted to try teaching cause I really love kids and wanted to do this matagal na. Bukod pa sa close po ako sa aunt ko na teacher po talaga dito sa Thailand.
Currently I`m in the PTC program of UPOU and might (HOPEFULLY) graduate next year or 1st quarter of 2016 the latest. I guess what I`m worried about is the fact that I worked as an educator first before actually acquiring a certificate for teaching. Almost 3 years na po akong teacher dito. 29 po ako ngayun and I`m thinking to apply in two-three years time. I still need to pass the LET muna. Baka kasi iba ang maging interpretation nila about that pag.nareview na nila ang application ko.
Also, do we really have to get a grade of 8 sa lahat ng category sa IELTS or band score would be considered?
Sa pagkakaalam ko po pala they`ve revised the point system so in case I won`t be able to nail my IELTS and won`t get the full 20 points they give in that category (for getting all 8), would getting a grade of 7 or more which is equivalent to 10 points would be okay as long as I reached the 60 points they require, or getting an all 8 is mandatory if I`m gonna nominate Teaching as my skill?
Medyo nalungkot po pala ako sa nabasa ko na nahihirapan yung ibang Pinoy makahanap ng teaching job sa Australia. Isa pa sa worry ko na if ever maipasa ko and won`t be able to get any teaching job, I had no idea how pano ang mundo ng arts management sa Australia. Kailangan po ba palaging related sa pinag-aralan or kahit hindi naman as long as I found a good job there? (Oops sorry kinda getting way ahead there pero masyado lang po talaga akong curious hehe).
Anyways, thank you very much po sa makakasagot. Pasensya na po ang haba hehe. Gusto ko lang po kasi talagang magkaroon na ng idea para masimulan ko na po tong journey na to and malaman ang mga dapat kong gawin and kung kaya ko ba syang magawa. Salamat po ulet! God bless to everyone here! Mabuhay ang mga Pinoy!
