Try looking at seek. You can check the occupation you’re looking and locations as well. It can help you as a take off where you can see where the jobs are concentrated and look at the places its located for you to assess dn if your ok with it. Hope it made sense. Goodluck!

Hi everyone. May ask lang po sana ako. Kakareceive ko lang ng Student Visa grant ko last week but I was deferred on January 27, 2023 (New Intake Date) Pwede na po ba mag punta sa Australia anytime as long as I am holding a valid visa or need po i-follow yung 90 days before intake date?
Wala po kasi ako makita article stating na strictly 90 days before intake dapat mag arrive. Medyo confused lang po, hope may makahelp po. Salamat!

Does an applicant need a college degree if he has been carrying out the responsibility of an occupation currently listed under Visa 491? I checked Vetassess and it is requiring a college degree as a pre-requisite. Is there another way to validate the work experience?

As far as I know, walang change na inannounce na pwede dumating more than 90 days before intake date, so I would recommend traveling within that 90 day period just to be safe. Usually that amount of time is sufficient to get you settled in before your studies (finding accommodation, buying food and essentials, getting mobile number and TFN, etc).

Is the college degree you completed very different from the occupation? If it's related, you can try to get it assessed by VETASSESS so you can get a positive skill assessment in that occupation, and then lodge an EOI for visa 491.

Hi, does this mean I don't need to get my qualifications assessed to get 15 pts if I graduated from a Section 1 university?

you still need to. section 1 only means na pag bachelor grad ka, pwedeng comparable as bachelor ka pa din. section 2&3, pag bachelor grad ka, comparable to diploma lang, unless licensed ka.
