Congrats @chinnie! Wala talagang imposible kay God!
@Cassey salamat po! Nagawan ko na ng paraan yung sa health coverage ko. I know off-topic, pero para sa mga makakaexperience, pag hindi ina-allow ng health provider magupdate ng "start date," just notify them with your date of arrival and they should automatically start your coverage right when you arrive in Au. For Medibank, I just have to e-mail them a copy of my passport with stamp. Mag-aadjust nalang yung "end dates" mo which shouldn't be a problem since you can easily extend your coverage.

@MsSenoJR Ahhh, God bless. Yung hubby ko nag1yr nursing course naman siya sa Deakin. Student Visa din kami nagsimula. While waiting for your flight make sure to have your documents ready and bring it to Au para pag nagapply ka for ANMAC and AHPRA di mo na need pang magpakuha sa Pilipinas. It'll save you time as well

Processing times: (for subclass 500 effective 1-July-16) We aim to finalise 75 per cent of complete student visa applications within one month of lodgement.
anu po ibig sabihin nito?

@jeriatrix I think this will apply to those student visa applications lodged from July 1 2016. They will try to give decision (grant/refuse) to 75% of the total applications within a month of lodging. So a month's time na lang ang pagaantay. unlike ngayon kasi na depende sa subclass yung processing times. merong 1 month, yung iba 3months. Yung new rule is pinagsama na lahat ng subclass into 500, whether its masteral or VET or Bachelor's.

Hello base on your your information po. ano po ba ang magiging positive at negative impact regarding this matter?
CasseyMelbourne, Australia Posts: 2,812Member, Moderator Joined: Sep 07, 2015
@Joshua1_9 Dito sa Australia, pag gumagawa sila ng new rules/policies pinagaaralan nilang mabuti and it's always for the better. Positive impact is that its easier now to apply as the process is made simpler and of course yung waiting time is shorter na compared to before. As with the negative impact, siguro maaapektuhan yung mga hindi Genuine students which is just fair for the Australian govt.

@Cassey salamat po! Nagawan ko na ng paraan yung sa health coverage ko. I know off-topic, pero para sa mga makakaexperience, pag hindi ina-allow ng health provider magupdate ng "start date," just notify them with your date of arrival and they should automatically start your coverage right when you arrive in Au. For Medibank, I just have to e-mail them a copy of my passport with stamp. Mag-aadjust nalang yung "end dates" mo which shouldn't be a problem since you can easily extend your coverage.
