Sa speaking kasi importante ang fluency and less hesitation. I remember the examiner and I laughing at the 3rd stage of the speaking test coz I was just being me and honest and spontaneous. Nung writing part, habang gigil na gigil sumagot agad mga katabi ko pag abot ng booklet, I took a moment to understand the question and slowly wrote in outline prior to writing. It turns out I managed two tasks on time coz I had a plan beforehand while the others were panicking midway to erase or add.
Relax, be honest, and enjoy!
That's the key!

I recently submitted my docs for assessment to aitsl (pre-primary) and im quite worried with the requirement of 45 days of supervised teaching. I had my 150 hours OJT for toddlers class and another 150 hours for 4's and 5's class. The aitsl requires the age group 3-8 for pre primary assessment, so, do you think my 150 hours for 4's and 5's class will suffice?
Is there an equivalent hours for the 45 days teaching?
Help please... Thank you so much.

To be honest, I don't know any teacher who have gone this route. Anyway, ACECQA is very strict with their qualifications when it comes to Early Childhood Teaching. You'd have to check first if your degree and school are listed in ACECQA's approved qualifications. Search for it in this page: http://www.acecqa.gov.au/Qualifications.aspx
If it's not there, then you'll have to go through a different route -- through Visa 189 or 190 or student visa. Good luck!

I'm a qualified Pre-Primary School teacher according to AITSL, a migrant assessment body, but I'm not qualified by ACECQA standards. It's because I didn't have a teaching practicum load for children within the 0-3 years range.
Why don't you do the Visa 189 route? (Read more here: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-)

Sorry I have a lot of questions. I don't have a migration agent kasi, that's why I'm only relying on the different posts here. So far, they have been very helpful. :-)

That's right, I cannot teach in a preschool in Australia since I'm not qualified by ACECQA. However, ACECQA has a special circumstance for teachers with Primary School Teacher qualifications. In my case, as soon as I enrol in a diploma/other approved degree for Early Childhood Teaching, I can be considered as a Pre-Primary School Teacher. (Source: http://www.acecqa.gov.au/actively-working-towards-an-approved-qualification)
No worries! Feel free to ask away. I myself did not seek the help of an agent.

So far, the things I've paid for are the following:
AITSL Assessment for Migration - AUD 600.00
IELTS - Approx. AUD 790.00 (since I took it 3x)
Visa 189 - AUD 3600.00
NBI Clearance - AUD 3.00
Medical - AUD 121.00
Teacher Registration - AUD 241.65 (needed for Primary School teaching, not Early Childhood teaching)
TOTAL: AUD 5, 597.30 (approx. PHP 195, 905.50)
The price is pretty steep, but I really think it'll be worth it in the long run.
I haven't made the big move to Australia yet, so I can't tell you about the price of living yet for sure. You can read more about it in these threads:

Hi there! Ikaw yung FLCD, right? With regards to ACECQA, it is not really a "registration body" so as long as your qualification AND school appears in their approved qualifications list (http://www.acecqa.gov.au/Qualifications.aspx), then you don't need to apply for "registration" for them. You'll only apply to have your qualifications checked from them (http://www.acecqa.gov.au/Assessment-of-equivalent-early-childhood-educator-qualifications) if your qualification is NOT listed.
What is your target state? There are some states wherein you will need to be registered as ECT (usually teacher registration is for Primary or Secondary teachers). However, in Queensland, there is no need to be registered to become an Early Childhood Teacher. Usually, all you need are the following: your ECT qualifications, working with children check, and first aid, anaphylaxis and asthma certificates.
It's not as complicated as taking a licensure exam for teachers here in the Philippines, huh?
@rdagulan
Hi! Just like I mentioned before, the migration assessment body will take your educational background into consideration more than your actual job experience, so if your degree is more related to Secondary Education than Early Childhood, then I suggest you have your assessment done for Secondary Education.

I replied to your concern, two posts up there. Anyway, in addition to what I mentioned: If your PRC license indicates Secondary Education, then probably your educational background is equivalent to Secondary Education. For teacher assessment, you'll have to sit the IELTS Academic first and get a score of at least 8.0 in Speaking and Listening and at least 7.0 in Writing and Reading. Then the next step would be to lodge your documents, along with your IELTS results, to AITSL for migration purposes.

We will be staying with my MIL in NSW (border ng NSW and QLD yung suburb nya). So if ever i find work in QLD, no need to register anywhere? I can apply as soon as i get there?
How about in NSW? Do i need to register with BOSTES?
Thank you so much.
