Sa mga hindi pa decided: Syempre maganda lumipat sa US as working visa kasi may work ka na once you get there. Wait ka lang mabigyan ng social security number at pwede ka na mag start sa work. Here in Oz, you can move as PR already. Although medyo mahirap maghanap ng work but as long as hindi ka mamili I think madali lang makahanap.
When it comes to employee benefits madami sa oz. to mention a few: Employer pay for your superannuation or retirement on top of your salary. Sick leave can be carried over to the next year if you haven't used it. Higher shift loading when you're working after hours and weekends. And even when your on vacation, you also get loading too. Long maternity leave as well as paternity leave.
In US benefits are also employer dependent: this were my benefits with my employer in Florida. you save for your superannuation and not the employer. Some will offer retirement matching if you're saving for retirement. No sick leave. No maternity leave. If you don't have vacation days, when you get sick or gave birth, you don't get paid.
Just my few cents.. It is still a matter of personal choice whether US or OZ.

Medyo na enlighten na ako regarding AIMS assessment and exam. Plan ko now is to submit the requirements for assessment. Then i'll take the exam sa Oz na since I might be going there later this year.
I read na you can get 15pts (for PR application) if you have a bachelor's degree. Does this mean na counted ang BSMedtech na i took here sa Philippines or yung bachelor's degree lang from Australian schools?

Plan ko by april or may na mag submit ng requirements for AIMS assessment. Then while waiting for the result, take muna ako ng course na related sa labtech in TAFE and self review na din. I'll work part time din.. kahit anong work. Hehe. Then I'll take the exam na din sa Oz na. Medyo settled na din kasi sister ko dun and fortunately, she is willing to assist me with whatever I need and ang mom ko din is willing to help me sa pag aalaga ng anak ko pag nasa Oz na kami.
I really need to pass the exam para maging PR. Hehe
Student visa talaga suggestion ng mga kakilala ko para mabilis maka punta ng Oz and dun nalang mag process ng everything.

If money is not a problem, go for the student visa option. It's also quite a challenge looking for jobs related to pathology field when you're on a temporary visa.. If you have more than 3years experience in a hospital lab, aims will have a positive assessment and you'll get invited for the exam and pass. Definitely in one year you can move as PR.

Anyway, yes i have a 3yr work experience as a medtech here sa Philippines. But i still have to review hardcore since i work sa govt hospital and limited lang mga lab procedures na naperform ko especially
sa microbiology unlike sa mga malalaking private labs na super hitech
