July 2017 - applied for France Tourist Visa but refused
September 2017 - applied for Australia Business Visa (for nurse brdiging program) which was granted. At that time, I didn't declare that I had a history of tourist visa refusal fr france (i was reaaly careless then, I was thinking it didn't matter that much since tourist visa lng naman, and i thought para less hassle n lng to explain. big mistake I know)
Currently - I'm applying Visa 189 and filling the form 80. I was reading this thread as well, and learned that I should put the correct info,including the question if application of visa to any country was refused before.
this time, I really want to be honest, and say yes and include the info about my visa refusal.
however, I am really scared kc bka ma-compare s previous visa application wherein I declared NO visa refusal in the past, thus will have a negative impact on my current visa 189 application due to inconsistencies
Which is the best action to take po? shall I say YES this time, or pangatawanan q n lng po ung answer n NO?
Your insights are greatly appreciated.
thanks po.

May follow up Qs pa po ako related sa form 80
1. Kelangan po ba tlaga ilagay lahat ng travel history from old and new passport,
2. Pwede po ba ako mag attached ng continuation ng travel history kasi hindi kasya yung space provided sa form 80?
3. Dpat po ba detailed yung job description, kasi hibdi rin kasya sa space provided? Kelangan ba match yung job description na nakagay sa skills assessment at form 80?
4. Kailangan din po bang mag fill up ng form 80 ang mga non migrating family member? kung hindi bakit nakalgay sa immi acclunt na required sila? or dapat po bang i-upload ko ang aking form 80 isa isa sa mga non migrating family members ko?
5. Pwede po ba kahit ITR lang ang i-upload? wala na kasi akong payslip. Does it matter sa CO?
6. My first company po ay nag change ng Business name, so yung nasa COE ko po ay previous name nila. Ano po ang illgay kong name sa form 80? old or new name? at saan kompompwede i-explain na nag chnage na sila ng Business name?
Salamat po ng marami

1. Past 10 years only.
2. Yung last page Part T pwede mo isulat don. If still not enough, you can just photocopy the last page again and combine with the rest. Sometimes people attach an excel sheet (non-editable) of their travel history, instead of filling out Part T. Tinatanggap din.
3. Nope kahit short description lang. Kahit mga 3-4 major tasks outlined sa assessment.
4. Di ako nagpasa, and as far I know not required.
5. Kung ano pinasa mo sa assessment, iattach mo.
6. Ilagay mo na lang sa form 80 Company Current Name (Formerly Old Name)

Sorry I need to clarify on item 4.
Di ako nagpasa, kasi wala akong non-migrating family unit (meaning spouse and children). But if you do, please verify if it's needed. Parang kelangan yata.

Wala din akong spouse and children. Hindi ba consider na non-migrating family unit ang parents and siblings?

Regarding sa #1, I believe (based on comparison), depends on you. Sa amin ng husband ko, we provided all our travel history sa old and new passport (not more than 10 years pa naman ang travel history namin), even yung mga day trips namin. Some friends did the same pero some no. I have a friend na, nilagay lang nila yung travels na magkasama silang mag-asawa which is less than half ng travel history nila. So I would suggest, whichever makes you feel comfortable. Kung lahat, o hindi, it's up to you.
