Also, I think those who have submitted before but no invitations yet will be excused from this changes (just my 0.02). Cause just to share with you - before, in VIC they hold the 190 applications for IT occupations but the rule is only applicable for future applications.

Based sa nabasa ko dito, may 2 approaches - pwedeng magpa-medical ka na muna bago mag-lodge at magbayad para mas mataas ang chance mong ma-direct grant or pwedeng mag-lodge ka muna then mag-medical. For my case, nag-lodge muna ako, paid all fees then nag-medical at police clearance processing. Let's wait for the input from others.

Follow up na rin. I just checked yung documents for upload ni wife. Magkaiba pala kami ng required documents. I can't seem to find a place to upload her TOR or diploma. Needed pa ba yun or hindi na? Thanks!
