Yup 20 days anual leave, public holidays pa(depende ito sa state), 10 days sick/personal/carer's leave. Standard ito but other company offer more than this.
May super annuation din dito. Compulsary sya. Meaning 9% ng total earning mo ay sinesave mg government.They invest it. kaya mucho mucho ka pagtanda mo. ha ha ha. This is something na you can discuss sa employer as a salary package. OK nga sya kasi may savings tayo pag tanda natin kahit wala tayong naitatabi sa bangko. :-)
Madali lang magpamember sa EA. Basta na assess ka na nila, you are qualified as professional member. You have to pay around less than $500 per year. Sa case ko company ang nagbabayad. Sa mga katulad natin na Immigrant, I think it's worth being a member kasi kelangan madagdagan ang qualififcation natin.Pero sa mga local, they find it a waste of money.
Dito sa Victoria mas importante ang maging Building Practitioner. Sa ibang state yata another assessment uli. But this qualification is more benificial than being EA makakapirma tayo ng Certification(Certifying your design).Once na Registered Building Practitioner ka, everything that you are doing is covered by the Insurance.Though I am a registered building practitioner, minimaintain ko pa rin membership for EA. palamuti rin sa CV ito. Kasi kung ako amg mag-aassess ng applicant at alam kong member ng EA, I will give them an edge.
A lot of things to share...Always remember na kahit mag struggle kayo dito sa una, if you have a concrete experience back home, you will find a good job later own. Sometimes knowledge is not enough.importante ang character at attitude...coming from the one older than you. :-)

anyways, mahirap bang maghanap ng work sa Oz?! i mean, if state sponsored ang visa mo, mahirap pa rin ba or the state itself will find a job suited for you :-)

Parang Associatin lang ang EA pero binigyan sila ng responsibility ng Immigration to assess qualififcations. Ang nagbibigay ng Registration dito sa Victoria ay ang Building Practitioner Board. Wala rin silang exam, they are after sa experience at endorsement ng company.Alam ko min of 3 years experience ang requirement.
medyo mahina ang construction industry ngayon compare nung bagong dating ako 2007.Hindi kami busy ngayon(www.brownconsulting.com.au). Hindi ako maalam sa state sponsored ang visa. Kung hindi ka nmn choosy sa place I believe na madali kang makahanap sa mga area na hindi matindi ang competition..Ang importante e makarating ka dito. at kung Mapuan ka nmn e mas malaki ang chance na magkapenetrate ka...:-) alam ko maparaan ang mga Mapuans e..without offense to other school lang po. :-)...
yung mga civil/structural dyan na may solid experience send nyo sa akin CV nyo and I will try to send it sa HR nmin. Try lang natin. :-)

personally i think madali kang makakakuha nga work dito. In demand naman QS dito sa Melbourne but ofcourse si Lord pa rin ang nakakaalam kung ano ang pwedeng mangyari sa iyo dito.ang sa akin nmn ay gut feeling lang.he he he
BTW ang QS dito ay hindi engineer.that is another course. but it does not matter dahil OK nmn ang sweldo. kapg nga madami ka ng local experience baka mas malakihan mo pa sweldo ng engineer. :-)

Sa EA naman recently ginawa na nilang electronic ang processing(sa mga members ewan ko lang sa mga immigrants)..lahat ng records ko like professional development training etc I can record sa website nila.
Basahin mo na lang ito.
http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-us/migration-skills-assessment
Kung ako sa inyo huwag na kayong mag-agent if you know na qualified kayo..you can check sa website ng australia immigration..pagtsagaan nyo lang ang pagbabasa sa mga procedures. Iguguide ka rin nmn nila. Ako lang ang nag-apply nung application nmin before.malaking pera din yung pwede nyong matipid...baka may magalit na agent sa akin nito a...advice ko lang naman po sa mga taong kayang magtyaga sa pagpaprocess. ha ha ha

ang difference lang nmn e yung bayad mo sa agent...according to some, libo libo sila magcharge for in fact e tayo rin nmn ang nagpeprepare ng lahat. sila lang nagsusubmit. :-)
I cant tell you the approximate expenses kasi kami family without plane ticket mga approx P250,000 pesos.Included na medical at 1 time IELTS exam dun....
Galing kasi ako sa NZ...One company here in Melbourne offer me a job and paid for my relocation expenses...tapos after a year ni lodge ko yung PR namin. So mahirap kong icompare...I am sure mayroon dito sa forum na makakasagot sa iyo. :-)
