  I read that the Skilled Occupations List has this points system but I don't understand it.
  
  Do I need to accumulate a set number of points before I can work in Australia? How much points do I need? How do I get these points?

  Do I need to accumulate a set number of points before I can work in Australia? How much points do I need? How do I get these points?
  
  depends on what Visa you are applying, and yes you have to accumulate those points
  
  How do I get these points?
  
  It depends on your
  Age
  Your school + work experience ( depends on Australian demands )
  You English language ability
  If you have worked/studied in Au
  Your spouses school + work experience
  etc etc
  
  example only
  
  you have graduated in La Salle as BSCOmSci and CUrrently working as a .NET Programmer for 5 year you get = 60 points
  You English language ability IELTS total band is 8 = 25 Ppoints
  You are 30 years old = 15 points
  YOu have studied in AU = 5 points
  etc etc ...

  Google for Everything !!!

  49 po ang age limit sa immigration alam ko hehe...
  factor sa employer sponsored visa yung makahanap muna ng employer pero pag meron na kayo nun mas madali makapasok sa AU

  Hi jenny_sg just my opinion ha, parang medyo slim ang chance mo for nursing field? but still dont lose hope. what field are you in ba? maybe you can find an occupation similar to what you are doing right now.

  Hi. Nagsearch lang ako sa workaboad then pinass ko resume ko. tapos tumawag sa akin agency for interview sa mga employers. March 2010 ako nagpainterview. Di bale twice yung interview initial then final. The employers as in the owners of the hotel offered me a permanent visa the Visa 119. Regional Sponsored ba tawag dun. So inaccept ko ung offer. Pinag IELTS ako then VETASSES..
  Placement fee: Ang sabi salary deduction. Starting offer sa akin is $47k/annum. Im not sure if that's enough pero icompare ko sa salary ko dito sa Pinas, sobrang laki na yan for me and ung visa ko is PR naman.
  Tapos po, this Feb 2011 lang nareleased ung result ng visa ko. and in 2 weeks makakaalis na ako. Sa Ballarat Victoria pala yung pupuntahan ko.
  Wala akong idea kung anu meron dun..hehe!

  Thanks! ito po ung visa na grinant sa akin:
  Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (Subclass 119/857)
  The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) allows employers in regional or low population growth areas of Australia, to sponsor employees who are foreign nationals for a permanent visa to work in Australia.
  
  Pasencia na po. first time ko kase magwowork abroad...
  Married na po ako pero wala kami anak ng asawa ko. so ako muna ang pupunta dun sunod nlng asawa ko since nagwowork siya sa barko..
  My question lang ako sana...
  
  shoulder ko ba ang fee sa visa na to? kase i received a letter or contract from my agency galing sa skilled migration services from australia na i have to pay $10k for 100 weeks para sa visa na to. akala ko kase shoulder na to ng employers ko and placement fee nlng babayran ko.. naguluhan tuloy ako..
  
  then kelangan ko pa ba pumunta ng POEA para sa OEC ung overseas employment certificate?
  sana po may makasagot sa mga tanong ko..
  thank you po!

  @Jenny_sg interest should start from your husband.. may chance pa naman kayo sa subclass 175 pero you need IELTS band 7 for all tests.. kaya yan basta review nga lang mabuti... subclass 475 only needs band score of 6.5

  dennis_carlo is right you still have a chance for the 175. retake nya lang ung ielts siguro.

  @cheflyra : hi chef, i have read a lot of blogs bout OZ.I have encountered bout this settlement funds na $10K pag regional sponsored visa. Sa skilled independent di oblige magpakita ng ganun kalaki. Alam ko sa inyo din yun pera na yun.Di ka na need magpunta POEA to get OEC kc para lang sa mga overseas contract worker yun.

  @yheon_17 ang best chance mo is to apply a visa. kasi dito satin sa sg, nakakalusot ung tourist then sa sg maghahanap ng work. iba sa AU, sobra bihira ung ganon, gusto kasi ng mga company may visa ka to work in AU.

  @aolee congrats! Di pa po ako PR, nagapply ako nung 2009 pero denied. Kayo PR na? Malaki ba talaga ang difference sa sweldo ng IT ng SG sa AU?

  @yheon_17 Yup PR kame, got approved last 2009. comparing both worlds, single ka ba? i really advise na dito ka na lang sa SG pag single ka, advantage here for single is ung TAX sobra baba, sweldo wise mas malaki talaga sa AU pero olats sa TAX. maganda kasi ang AU for Families. security for family ang habol ko and magandang kinabukasan ng bata (e.g. correct english ung matututunan ng anak natin).
  
  salary wise, google mo ung salary range ng position mo, then google ung tax bracket. check mo kung worth ba.

  yup unlike dito satin sa SG, kung kumikita tayo ng mga 120k to 150k pero month, tax natin nasa 3k-5k pesos lang per month for 10months (GIRO), kasi ung IRAS nagsisimula magdeduct ng ika 3rd month due to filling process.
  
  a friend of mine here, salary nya is SGD 4k+/month pero tax lang nya for the whole year is 700-800plus.
  
  sample computation:
  SGD 4,000x12months = SGD 48,000
  TAX 800 (for the whole year)
