Nice article!

I read that the Skilled Occupations List has this points system but I don't understand it.

Do I need to accumulate a set number of points before I can work in Australia? How much points do I need? How do I get these points?

Do I need to accumulate a set number of points before I can work in Australia? How much points do I need? How do I get these points?

depends on what Visa you are applying, and yes you have to accumulate those points

How do I get these points?

It depends on your
Age
Your school + work experience ( depends on Australian demands )
You English language ability
If you have worked/studied in Au
Your spouses school + work experience
etc etc

example only

you have graduated in La Salle as BSCOmSci and CUrrently working as a .NET Programmer for 5 year you get = 60 points
You English language ability IELTS total band is 8 = 25 Ppoints
You are 30 years old = 15 points
YOu have studied in AU = 5 points
etc etc ...

jc pano kung lola na ako at nag apply ako, may chances po ba ako makahanap ng asawa sa ostralya?? :D:D:

49 po ang age limit sa immigration alam ko hehe...
factor sa employer sponsored visa yung makahanap muna ng employer pero pag meron na kayo nun mas madali makapasok sa AU

Hi,just want to ask about nursing field if theres a chance i can work or get sponsor by employer if no experience in hospital setting....rn but sad to say my ielts result is only 6.5 academic.any feedback or information will be a great help...thanks in advance!

aolee

Hi jenny_sg just my opinion ha, parang medyo slim ang chance mo for nursing field? but still dont lose hope. what field are you in ba? maybe you can find an occupation similar to what you are doing right now.

Jenny_sg

experience ko sa pinas is clinic nurse pero non lumipat kami d2 sa sg ng hubby ko di na ako nakawork....mahirap din d2 yun nursing field kasi gusto nila PR at may hospital experience..Di bale tuloy ko na lang yun nclex exam ko sa Texas,bond 6.5 lang yun requirements nila general or academic is accepted.Hubby ko sana kaso ayaw nya mag-exam ng IELTs kasi di nya daw kaya na kasi work pa sya, archi sya and nurse by profession and both licence pero working as draftman d2 sa sg.nasa 10 yrs na rin experience nya...anyway thank you sa comment!

cheflyra

panu pala ung naging transaction mo sa workabroad.ph? may placement fee ka ba binayaran? dumaan ka ba under agency? or direct hire? kung ok lang, pa share naman ng exp mo po. thanks

Hi. Nagsearch lang ako sa workaboad then pinass ko resume ko. tapos tumawag sa akin agency for interview sa mga employers. March 2010 ako nagpainterview. Di bale twice yung interview initial then final. The employers as in the owners of the hotel offered me a permanent visa the Visa 119. Regional Sponsored ba tawag dun. So inaccept ko ung offer. Pinag IELTS ako then VETASSES..
Placement fee: Ang sabi salary deduction. Starting offer sa akin is $47k/annum. Im not sure if that's enough pero icompare ko sa salary ko dito sa Pinas, sobrang laki na yan for me and ung visa ko is PR naman.
Tapos po, this Feb 2011 lang nareleased ung result ng visa ko. and in 2 weeks makakaalis na ako. Sa Ballarat Victoria pala yung pupuntahan ko.
Wala akong idea kung anu meron dun..hehe!

aolee

ang galing naman yes ok cya kasi PR Visa inaapply sayo, ang daming hirap makakuha ng PR visa ngayon but it's still a blessing for you. balitaan mo naman kame pag nasa OZ ka na ha? buhay dyan and yung life style. samalat!

aolee

@dennis_carlos hehe dennis, natawa ko sa comment mo ("kung single ka malaki na yang sahod na yan") :P pero totoo nga malaki nga sweldong yun.

cheflyra

Thanks! ito po ung visa na grinant sa akin:
Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (Subclass 119/857)
The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) allows employers in regional or low population growth areas of Australia, to sponsor employees who are foreign nationals for a permanent visa to work in Australia.

Pasencia na po. first time ko kase magwowork abroad...
Married na po ako pero wala kami anak ng asawa ko. so ako muna ang pupunta dun sunod nlng asawa ko since nagwowork siya sa barko..
My question lang ako sana...

shoulder ko ba ang fee sa visa na to? kase i received a letter or contract from my agency galing sa skilled migration services from australia na i have to pay $10k for 100 weeks para sa visa na to. akala ko kase shoulder na to ng employers ko and placement fee nlng babayran ko.. naguluhan tuloy ako..

then kelangan ko pa ba pumunta ng POEA para sa OEC ung overseas employment certificate?
sana po may makasagot sa mga tanong ko..
thank you po!

cheflyra

Thanks! Sulit na ba yung $10k for PR? mahal ba talaga ang bayad sa ganyang visa? clueless talaga ako pagdating sa mga ganyan kaya nagbabasa ako ng mga info dito internet

Admin

@Jenny_sg interest should start from your husband.. may chance pa naman kayo sa subclass 175 pero you need IELTS band 7 for all tests.. kaya yan basta review nga lang mabuti... subclass 475 only needs band score of 6.5

dennis_carlo is right you still have a chance for the 175. retake nya lang ung ielts siguro.

you can check for the rate here

http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/990i/employer-sponsored-permanent.htm

ung 2nd payment pag hindi ata mataas ung IELTS mo tsaka lang applicable.

@cheflyra : hi chef, i have read a lot of blogs bout OZ.I have encountered bout this settlement funds na $10K pag regional sponsored visa. Sa skilled independent di oblige magpakita ng ganun kalaki. Alam ko sa inyo din yun pera na yun.Di ka na need magpunta POEA to get OEC kc para lang sa mga overseas contract worker yun.

Mga Kabayan sa Australia, Im currently working here in SG for 3 years now. I'm an IT with 5 years experience. Gusto ko po sana magwork sa Au. Mahihirapan po ba ako maghanap ng company na magssponsor sakin? Oh kailangan ko talaga magapply muna ng VISA bago makahanap ng work? Thanks!

aolee

@yheon_17 ang best chance mo is to apply a visa. kasi dito satin sa sg, nakakalusot ung tourist then sa sg maghahanap ng work. iba sa AU, sobra bihira ung ganon, gusto kasi ng mga company may visa ka to work in AU.

yheon_17

@aolee, Salamat po sa pagreply. Salamat din dun sa reviewer. :-) Nagwowork ka na ba sa Au? Ano pong field nyo? Mahirap po ba makahanap ang IT dyan? Dami tanong.. Salamat!

aolee

@yheon_17 np, nope dito pa rin ako sa SG, my wife just gave birth last week, kaya off rin ako dito sa site. papalipasin ko lang tong change of point system then tsaka ko kikilos siguro. are you are PR here?

yheon_17

@aolee congrats! Di pa po ako PR, nagapply ako nung 2009 pero denied. Kayo PR na? Malaki ba talaga ang difference sa sweldo ng IT ng SG sa AU?

aolee

@yheon_17 Yup PR kame, got approved last 2009. comparing both worlds, single ka ba? i really advise na dito ka na lang sa SG pag single ka, advantage here for single is ung TAX sobra baba, sweldo wise mas malaki talaga sa AU pero olats sa TAX. maganda kasi ang AU for Families. security for family ang habol ko and magandang kinabukasan ng bata (e.g. correct english ung matututunan ng anak natin).

salary wise, google mo ung salary range ng position mo, then google ung tax bracket. check mo kung worth ba.

yheon_17

Married na po. Pero wala pa anak. Oo nga daw po mas okay sya sa may mga pamilya. kaya naiisipan ko din na magbaka sakali.

aolee

@yheon_17 pursue mo cya. pang long term talaga ang OZ.

yheon_17

@aolee medyo malaki nga po pla talaga ang tax. --> http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.asp?doc=/content/12333.htm
hehehehe.

aolee

yup unlike dito satin sa SG, kung kumikita tayo ng mga 120k to 150k pero month, tax natin nasa 3k-5k pesos lang per month for 10months (GIRO), kasi ung IRAS nagsisimula magdeduct ng ika 3rd month due to filling process.

a friend of mine here, salary nya is SGD 4k+/month pero tax lang nya for the whole year is 700-800plus.

sample computation:
SGD 4,000x12months = SGD 48,000
TAX 800 (for the whole year)
