@rami Na-check mo ba online ang status ng application mo? Kung meron ka nung COC reference number, try mo rin mag-book. Minsan kasi nadedelay lang yung acknowledgement, pero nasa system naman nila yan.

Dito sa SG, need nila yung HAP ID upon booking an appointment. I'm not sure though sa Pinas. But during your medical, you need to bring the referral letter. Nakalagay dun yung mga tests na gagawin.
Police clearance. For PH, yes NBI. If you lived in any country for at least 12 months for the past 10 years, you need to secure police clearance from that country.

2. Work experience should be paid at the market or salaried rate for XXX professionals. Clients receiving stipends, living allowances or scholarships will not generally be considered to be salaried
3. Whilst ‘full-time’ work constitutes 20 hours per week or more, this must be regular employment and must not include long periods of unpaid leave
4. In general, research activities undertaken as a Ph.D. student, or work experience as a Research Assistant/Fellow whilst undertaking a Ph.D., cannot be considered as relevant skilled employment

Nag-email ako sa ACS. Internship can considered daw as long as paid and at a professional level.
ung professional level, pede pa, kaso sa paid, allowance lang meron ako that time.
Although, 8 hrs/day ako nun, pero nakalagay sa contract 490 hrs internship.
Also, lagpas 60 days na ko from my last assessment. another 500AUD nanaman
Is it worth the risk?
