I am an accounting graduate with 2 years experience as an accounting assistant 9mos as an internal auditor, pero more on clerical lang background ko. I dont know kung anong kukunin ko kasi Nagsearch ako may diploma course and bachelor (pero related pa rin sa degree ko sa PH), dun na ko sa school na may pinakamababang tuition in Sydney if ever. Any advice po? May chance ba ako for permanency if yung less than a year course lang kukunin ko? thank you po, pasensya na po wala kasi talaga po ako idea pa.

another question po? i applied for tourist way back 2013 and got denied makakaapekto po kaya sya sa application cause they said meron ng GTE? my mga ndeny na po ba s student? and pwede po ba mgsponsor ng funds ang sister in law? sorry po dami question

Those are only a few questions that you need to answer but probably the most important is why study in Australia? This is what the GTE tries to deal with.
500k a sem, you can probably earn with hardwork but with other expenses and taxes and limitation on work hours, it won't be enough. You need to have enough dough in order to live and study there.
Bachelor's (minimum of two years) will make you eligible for the post study visa.
Short courses will as well but you may have to take a couple of short courses to comply with the two year rule.
Studying for just a year will not make you eligible for anything. Prospective students need to know why they want to enter via the student route and not the usual proper routes. Kailangan ding pag-isipang mabuti at magresearch ng maigi.
Tourist visa denial shouldn't affect the student visa application ideally but it probably will since they have records. The officer would think, "Why was she denied then? Has her circumstances changed? Will she have funds to finance her stay?"
Is your sister-in-law your husband's sister? Then yes she can sponsor your husband (with you as dependent). Is she your brother's wife? Then nope she can sponsor her family (blood).
So ayun ate suggest ko sa'yo na research ka muna kasi ikaw lang din ang maka-didiscover kung anong mga sagot sa katanungan mo... Research mo yung standard of living, madali bang ma-hire sa part time job... Maging realistic din sa figures dahil hindi madali ang buhay sa ibang bansa...

Temporary Graduate visa (two streams):
Graduate Work stream – for international students with an eligible qualification who graduate with skills and qualifications that relate to an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL). A visa in this stream is granted for 18 months from the date of grant.
Post-Study Work stream – for international students who graduate with a higher education degree from an Australian education provider, regardless of their field of study. This stream is only available to students who applied for, and were granted, their first student visa to Australia on or after 5 November 2011. A visa in this stream can be granted for up to four years from the date the visa is granted, depending on the visa applicant's qualification.
I really really suggest browsing the ABF website. Dito naman talaga dapat ang unang puntahan kapag nagre-research... https://www.border.gov.au/
Regarding the 500k yes I did say you may earn it but I did also say it won't be enough. 'Di lang naman tuition ang gastos eh.
You have to understand that getting a valid visa is not synonymous to being granted a permanent stay in OZ. It's never easier on a student visa. Can't even be a nurse on a student visa or a temp grad visa (unless you studied BSN/MSN). Sure it will open up pathways but the easiest, costliest, and fastest path will always be GSM (General Skilled Migration).
5 years working experience on nurses is justified. Try to look at it from the Australian perspective... Would you want to hire a nurse with only a year's experience over the one who has 5 years of experience...? Who is more deserving of a visa?
OZ is in need of experienced nurses (>5 years of experience) and experienced nurses' skills will always be valuable. This does not mean those with less experience are not welcomed, it's just that with the current nursing conditions in OZ, it will be much harder for them (and they cannot claim extra points for GSM).
So think about it carefully, don't just decide on something just for the sake of finally stepping in Australia. Good luck!

just a suggestion, if you really want to push through your student visa (husband dependent) in OZ, enroll in a masteral course which will give you unlimited work right, though it is not an assurance that you can get a job right away and not an assurance that it will cover all your expenses in OZ. the tuition fee is quite higher than bachelor.
im on the process of my student visa to take masteral course and the initial amount needed for tuition and insurance is around 500k that for 1semester only. ill be bringing my husband with me (both in IT field) so that we can help each other fulfill our dreams. as per most forumers here, life in OZ is not as easy as what we think, especially for us beginners.
SO GOODLUCK SA ATING LAHAT...

Been reading this thread, and I must admit all of you have such a zealous effort to achieve your OZ dream, despite some odds. There are pros and cons but it depends on the person's disposition on viewing things. It's not easy, BUT it's neither impossible. Just be positive about everything while being practical and realistic.
That's the way to go!
Just paying it forward to the forum where I sought help too when I started my own Oz dream!
Good luck!
