@Ronafel hello ronafel so far wala pako nakikita huhu, san ka dito?

Ronafel

@kittykate hello. Nasa Victoria ako. Ang hirap maghanap ng work sa pharmacy kasi kailangan meron ka certificate.

kittykate

@Ronafel yes that's true, tapos nag aapply din ako as pharmacy assistant need din s2/s3 cert so naghanap ako ng kukunan ko ng s2/s3 na cert kaso need pala employed or kung pwede makiusap sa pharmacy na mag volunteer which is parang ang hirap. huhu

Cassey

@kittykate @Ronafel @kahjpp07 Hi, I'm currently working as Pharmacy Assistant dito sa Melbourne, pharmacist din ako sa atin. Nagkaroon kami ng vacancy lately lang. Yes, kailangan ng Cert 3 para maging pharmacy Asst. I was just lucky kasi yung napasukan ko, they let us study. If anyone of you can do full time work, pwede kong ipass resume ninyo.

@Cassey wow thats great! im still in sg tho..mid april pa kmi mgrelocate and qld has sponsored us kaya dun muna kmi..thanks for asking

Cassey

@kahjpp07 Ahh, i see. God bless. Pwede ka pa ring magapply sa mga pharmacy even if you don't have the Cert.

kahjpp07

@Cassey community pharmacy ba mostly? would u know if i can apply online lng? kahit wla pko qld? thanks much. i appreciate ur replies. God bless!

Cassey

@kahjpp07 Oo sa community pharmacy. Pag gusto mo ng hospital, iba rin yung cert na kailangan. Actually nagulat nga ako na magkaiba yung Dispensary Tech course ng hosp at sa community. Pinakuha rin kasi ako nun eh tinanong ko run sa trainer sabi niya iba raw yung sa hospital. Mukhang malabo pag online lalo na wala ka rito sa Au.

Hello ! Mga pharmacist pla kyo. Kmi din ng hubby ko at nextyr kmi mg big move. Visa 489 ..hirap pla pag restricted.. anong pinagkaiba ng dispensary sa atin..

Cassey

@sab2 Hi, dito sa Au ang prescription paper nila ay uniform. Pharmacies here use certain softwares to record the medications. Unlike sa atin na mano-mano nating sinusulat yung natitira pang gamot, dito they give out repeat forms. They also put necessary stickers on the box. Ang supply ng gamot is usually per box, walang tingi, hehe Liability wise, mabigat dito because people here really exercise their rights and are very bold and frank. They can always sue you even for small mistake. We don't hand in prescription-only-meds if a customer doesn't have a prescription unlike sa atin. Their guidelines here are different from USA (where we patterned ours). May mga gamot rito na di kailangan ng script like Ventolin pero needs the approval of Pharmacist bago ibigay sa customer. May mga vitamins sa atin na wala rito like Cherifer at yung Zinc and Vit C syrups. Wala ring formula rito for pregnancy. They really have stringent regulations. Lastly, ang Pharmacy Assistant rito dapat may Cert 3 in Community Pharmacy. Pag sa dispensary ng community pharmacy, may additional qualification na required which is the Dispensary Tech Course.

sab2

Thanks cassey , pano kya mkkuha ng cert n un.hospital kmi ng hubby ko.

Cassey

@sab2 May mga institution atang nagpoprovide nun, Yung sa akin kasi company na pinagwoworkan ko ang nagasikaso.

kahjpp07

@Cassey thanks for the info. btw, u mean work sa umaga then aral after duty? thanks

Cassey

@kahjpp07 Yung sa company namin, may 1day na whole day training then for the rest of the year may mga modules na gagawin then iaassess ka sa mismong store. Ewan ko lang pag sa mga educational institution.

chetbondoc

Hello ms @Cassey and everyone. I a new member here po.
Ano po ba step by step to apply as immigrant sa AUS? Pharmacist din po ako dito sa phil and i dont know where to start aside from taking IELTS

Cassey

@chetbondoc Hi, Welcome sa pinoyau. Yung sa akin kasi dependent ako ng hubby ko na nurse, yun yung naging pathway ko to migrate here in Au. For RPh, ang alam ko nasa CSOL pa siya. To be able to work here as a pharmacist, kailangan mong maipasa yung series of exams and be assessed by APC if you're a Hospital or Retail Pharmacist and VETASSESS if you're an Industrial Pharmacist. Then after, i think pwede ka ng magapply for migration thru state nomination basta enough yung points mo. God bless.

chetbondoc

Thank you maam @Cassey! Panu po magpaassess? Sorry po matanong. Im starting from scratch po talaga.

Cassey

@chetbondoc Ayos lang, im happy to help. Unfortunately, di ako masyadong familiar with the process as I didn't go through with it. Check mo na lang etong website nila. Nandiyan yung steps and documents na kakailanganin mo.

https://www.pharmacycouncil.org.au/pharmacists/overseas-trained-pharmacists/become-a-registered-australian-pharmacist/

Ang huling pagkakaalam ko may nagooffer ng review sa Pinas, yung Brex Pharmacy Review Center. Maybe you can call them and ask about the process. Hopefully, someone can share their experience with you.

chetbondoc

Thank you so much maam. Im planning canada or australia po even napaka thin ng posibility since theres no one to help. Wala akong kamag anak sa mga bansang yon.

kahjpp07

@Cassey thanks for the info. appreciate much. @chetbondoc ngagency ako. vetassess as pharmacy tech then ielts then wait for state sponsorship. dto sg aims offer free assessment, i think meron din cla ofc sa manila. God bless!

chetbondoc

@kahjpp07 if dito lang ako nagwork sa phil maam, qualified ba na pharm tech yong applyan? Nagpaevaluate ka na po ba maam?

kahjpp07

@chetbondoc http://www.aims.sg/ im not sure lang pero msg mo lng aims. yup may visa grant nko. God bless!

chetbondoc

Hi maam @kahjpp07 ask ko lang po sana panu ka nagpaevaluate? Mejo naguguluhan kasi ako kung anong ipapass and how? Currently employed pala ako maam. Have you taken your ielts?

kahjpp07

@chetbondoc email mo lng ung aims na ur interested to apply then they will ask u to send ur cv then they will set an appointment, frm there explain nila sayo ur possible points and stages of application. wala ka nmn babayaran kc free assessment un.

Heprex

@Cassey Hello, my fiancee's sister is a registered pharma dito sa Pinas. Pede ba makahingi ng idea san sya pede mag start and info para maging immigrant din sya soon sa Oz. Makakatulong ba if mag masters sya dito sa Pinas?

Cassey

@Heprex Hi, for Pharmacist medyo mahaba-haba at matagal yung process. She needs to be assessed for eligibility then afterwards kailangan niyang magtake ng written exam, oral exam at need din ng internship. Once na matapos siya pwede na siyang magregister as Pharma rito then be assessed by APC then pag may positive assessment pwede na siyang magapply for state sponsorship, 457, etc.
