Age - 15 points
English language ability - try to have a band 8 in all the modules (try PTE) - 20 points
Skilled employment (work experience) - 5 points
Qualifications (BS Degree) - 15 points
Either magpaassess ka din to get 5 points for Partner Skill or Nomination/sponsorship (VISA 190).
Visa 190 is hahanap ka ng state na open yung Job ni hubby then apply for nomination.
Good luck!

Ang alam ko sa ST Luke's afternoon pa available ang pedia doctor. Let's wait for others to comment.
Sa Nationwide, pricey yung medical pero mabilis silang mag upload unlike sa St Luke's.

First apply muna ako ng PR w/ nominated occupation as electrical engineering tech. (assuming makapasa sa assessment). After gaining a visa, iactivate lang tapos tuloy ko muna magtrabaho (either PH or ME) para makaipon ng pera (tutal may 5 yrs validity yung PR) after makaipon, magpa assess sa VETASSES as electrician para magkalicense then tska magstart maghanap ng work as electrical technician sa Oz.
Sa ngayon po kasi ang goal ko is makasecure ng PR as soon as possible at sa mas mababang halaga, wala pa po kasi akong ipon kaya babrasuhin ko nalang yung assessment fee sa TRA (mas mahal ata VETASSESS) at iba pang gastusin sa application. Tsaka kung sakali po kasing magka PR, wala pa naman akong pang sustento sa sarili ko tska kung sakaling mag VETASSESS ako, mag papa assess ako sigurado ule after ko makaipon dahil 3 yrs lang validity. Yung sa TRA po kasi mas mura tsaka mukang mas madali kaso di ako magiging eligible magka electrical workers license.

@jinkai re EOI you may correct it naman if you made a mistake, do it immediate kasi possible madeny if you overclaimed your points I think there's no more form pa, just edit your EOI.
@ranier1337 so far ganito ang process ng most of us here
1. Assessment of Education/Work Experience for Nominated Occupation
2. PTE (preferred) or IELTS
3. Submit Expression of Interest / Wait for Invitation to Apply
4. Lodge Visa Application
@grant512 Medyo matagal ang St Lukes magsubmit ng results sa DIBP I think around 1 week.
