it depends kung anong visa aapplyan mo.. most of us here went through the direct PR visa application which is subclass 189 or 190. kung may magsponsor na employer sayo, you can apply for 457 subclass or direct entry pr which is 186 ens subclass..
1st step is you have to get your academic qualifications and work experience to be assessed with the necessary assessing authority in Australia, in our case, Engineers Australia. Download the EA MSA booklet sa website ng EA and read through the step by step process ng paggawa ng CDR. You must also have an IELTS TRF na minimum 6 on each component before ka nila iassess..
You can read on this thread for some information shared by those who applied sa EA:

Need help po, hinde ko po sure kung anong kukuhain ko na visa, kung 189 or 190.Or pwede po bang both yan i lodge sa DBIP?
Currently yung points ko na nakikita pag 189-General Skilled Migrant visa nasa 55 points ang makukuha ko (based on the estimated points combined: Age=30pts, Education (vetasses PTA) = 15 pts, IELTS (assuming) 10 pts).
I am thinking of getting the 190 - State sponsored Visa para i can get extra 5 points to meet the 60 pts.
Currently na assess ako as suitable for migration sa ACS as System Analyst and i went through RPL route (8 years experience na minusan ng 6 years, so 2 years lang ang skills eligible for points).
Then nag points test advice ako sa vetasses para maka kuha ng points 15 for education.
Medyo naguluhan lang kasi ako dun sa sabi sa vetassess na nakalagay don sa application form nila na, "I intend to apply for General Skilled Migration program".
Thanks po!
