Just to share this info:
Changes to the health requirement
From 01 July 2017, the health requirement for non-migrating family members has changed. Family members who are not applying for the visa (non-migrating family members) are no longer required to undergo a health examination unless requested to do so by the Department.
Therefore, you could add family members upon lodging and in Form 80 without worrying for them to undergo medical check
(Cause as far as I know, if you wanted to sponsor family members in the future, they will refer to your original application if you indicated other non-migrating family members)

mka apply ng visa 190 bsta nasa MLTSSL ang occupation.
Pero pag tingnan yung IMMI 17/072 Specification of Occupations and Assessing Authorities, may nkalagay kasi na "and" between sa MLTSSL at STSOL (under column 2). medyo nkakalito kng kailangan ba talaga nasa MLTSSL at STSOL occupation mo para maka apply ng visa 190.
maraming salamat sa mkapagpaliwanag ng maayos. God bless sa ating lahat!
If you are applying for any of the below:
Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) – Points-tested stream
Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) - Family nominated
Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) – Graduate Work Stream.
you will need to nominate an occupation from the MLTSSL of the relevant legislative instrument – see: IMMI 17/072 Specification of Occupations and Assessing Authorities.
If you are applying for any of the below:
Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)
Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) - State or Territory nominated.
You will need to nominate an occupation from the same legislative instrument above. Additional occupations included in the STSOL will, however, also be available to you.
Note: the above instrument also restricts the use of certain occupations to certain subclasses listed above.

Scenario 1: ung assessment was completed last 2016 (4+ years of experience = 5points) with the declared current employment assessed as relevant. By 2017 magiging 5 years na ang work experience dahil continuous pa din yung current employment since 2016 which will be additional points sa EOI. Anong documents ang kailangan for evidence (I am assuming na diretso na ang pagclaim ng 10 points sa EOI) ?
Scenario 2: Same assessment was completed last 2016 (4+ years of experience = 5points) and a new employment which is relevant to the same occupation was acquired which ran to 2017. So nagkaroon siya ng additional work experience pero excluded sa assessment. Do you still need to have it assessed for relevance or diretso na ang pagclaim sa EOI ng 10 points for work experience?
Hope anyone can help enlighten me on this. TIA!

Scenario 1: if same employer automatic mag uupdate ung points mo sa EOI if naka state na present employer mo padin ung last na nasa assessment mo.
in my case nang hingi ng newest Employment Cert nung na CO contact ako to prove na same padin ung employer ko.
Scenario 2: You need mag pa assess ata ulit para masama ung new Employment.
