Due to numerous response from friends and here in PinoyAU, they suggested na personally nlang daw ako magapply - without the use of agents.
If anyone here recently applied for dentist work, please assist and advice po.
Thank you in advance!

and yes dental technician is on skilled occ list where u cn apply as independent skilled migrant worker (u cn choose a state) to live and work compared to 190/489 na may 2yrs commitment ka sa state who sponsored u. u cn check d website https://www.anzscosearch.com (register ka lng) so u cn check more info sa skill or profession na aaplyan nio.
d list of states who cn sponsor a "dentist" is also limited and each state has its own condition, South AU for example kelangan u have specific points to reach, whilst NSW state cn only nominate visa 489 (temp visa sia indi ka permanent res wen u enter)..and so on..i agree wd d rest of participants n ds forum na pde kau kau nlng mag apply most of us here mas natutu when we applied independently (wdout d help of a migration consultant) ..
u cn check any other thread n ds forum and ask anyone if may random questions kapa after ur research ..mostly dito very helpful and willing to share info.
Goodluck!

Oo nga parang mas naeencourage kami na magpasa DYI nlang. Magkakasabay din kasi ang gastos ng baby delivery and application namin, so malaking gastos. Maraming salamat ulit.
All the best sa application nyo din! God bless.

I just completed the checklist and requirements for ACS skills assessment. Pls I need your help. I just want to make some clarification before uploading the documentary requirements for ACS Skills Assessment. Do I need to certify/authenticate with the Dept. of Foreign Affairs the following documents ? (1) NSO Issued Birth Certificate, (2) Diploma (3) TOR (4) Affidavits of Employment, COE and Trainings/Seminars. Hoping for your kind response on this matter. Thank you very much for time and God Bless.
ACS Applicant...

So far almost complete ang initial requirements namin except that my partner's company here does not give COE na may job description. I saw sa post mo that you submitted a Stat Dec, can I please see a copy of it sana para mapattern namin? Thanks in advance!

Can I please ask for formats of commitment statement to the NT or any state and how job qualifications that were advertised match experience and the letter how skills are in line with NT or sny State needs. Honestly, I am at a loss right now. I am overwhelmed of the docs that are needed plus the stress financially. Tapos baka di ko pa muna isama sa application kids ko kase 65kaud ang need.
Thank you.

Upon grant, bibigyan ka nila na Initial Entry Date (IED) which kailangan andun kana on or before that date. May mga calculation theory sa IED, some say 1 year from either police or medical clearance, or 6 months if meron ka medical findings, but decision ito ng Case Officer.
Now if in case na mabigyan ka ng grant and 1 month or less nalang, sometimes bibigyan ka ng IED waiver, which means pwede ka lumagpas ng arrival mo from that IED. Meron din mga migrants suggesting that if hindi ka talaga maka meet sa IED, pwede ka mag request sa waiver na ito with valid reasons like medical/health, or your case na contracts, atbp.
Here's one example sa request na ginawa ng isang migrant:
