@jazzy06 Here's what I did:

I prepared the hard copies of the following documents:
- Verified Employment Contract (if you have the one verified by POLO-Canberra, better to use that one)
- Copy of passport and Visa Grant
- Completed OFW Information Sheet (https://dms.philembassy.org.au/index.php/website/download-forms/polo/60-ofw-information-sheet/file)
- Money Order payable to Philippine Embassy - POLO amounting to AUD 5
- Self-addressed Express post envelope (for their use in returning the docs and the OEC)

I sent my documents by post addressed to:

Atty. Rodolfo M. Sabulao
Labor Attache II
Philippine Embassy
1 Moonah Place, Yarralumla
ACT 2600, Australia

It took my OEC about 7 working days from the time I sent it to them by post.

Hope this helps.
