Baka nanigurado lang siya. Pero ang laki ng gastos niya for the assessment.

Yeah I get that. That’s one of the reasons why he/she can’t be both. That’s 2x the cost. Best to refer the tasks on Anzsco code. If he/she’s doing both then chem tech might be more appropriate but then there’s only limited information provided. I’ve had a case where the applicant did a DIY for chemist and got a negative outcome. I took over from there and re-applied for chem tech. She’s now in Australia! Point here is sometimes you may think you qualify for the higher position/occupation but based on the evidences you have you’re best suited for the lower position/occupation. Hope that helps

Salamat po for clarification. Naisip ko lang na magkaroon ng options since fit po ako sa dalawang occupations. In my case po, nakapag-asess na ako for chem tech two years ago at na grant ko naman ang approval. But during that year, special nomination na agad after few days and then the following year ay hindi nagbukas kaya napaso lang ang assesment ko. Now, I plan to resubmit again but for chemist position dahil yun po ang open sa ngayon. May chance po ba na maapprove kung itry ko ang Chemist kahit po may record na po ako ng Chem tech approval before? Or magstick na po ako sa Chem Tech then, magwait po ako 'til mag-open ulit this year?

It all depends on the tasks that you will present. They have to match the Chemist tasks. Good luck!

Ok po salamat sa feedback. Hopefully everything will go according to our plans and by God's perfect time. Cheers!

Hello to all based on my experience po way back 2013 nung nagapply kami for 190 (available pa sya noon for chemist as PR) hindi po ako nagpaassess as "chemist" sa vet assess although I graduated as such. What I did was to have my skills assess as "Lab Manager" since yun ang medyo matagal ko ng napapractice though sa lab din po ako nagwowork just to be sure. The thing with vetassess is that ung job description ng skill na inaapply mo for assessment should really match with what you have done or actually doing for a certain no of years..ok lang magpaassess ng ibang skills such as chem tech for as long as matching ung job desc ng vetassess sa nasa mga docs na isasubmit nyo. We landed in adelaide in 2015 and not to disheartened anyone but landing a job as chemist is quite difficult. It took me 1.5 years before I got back in the lab but 12mos of that was because I got pregnant. However, I must say that connections are really important here once you have arrived and once you have that "working exp" it can take you wherever state you'd like to settle. I'm working in a pharmaceutical company and what I noticed was ung mga chem tech namin once may vacancy sa chemist role sila na rin un nila-line up for the role so stepping stone lang usually nila ung chem tech. There is always a way mga kapwa kimiko just plan everything and act on it. Hope to bump with one of you here in SA in the future.

Hello po! Thank you for sharing your experienc. I am asking po kung Adelaide pa po kayo? I would like to ask kung tama po na wala munang offshore application for skilled migrants visa 190 as chemist po? Salamat po!

Offshore applications are not prioritised for this financial year (July 2020-June 2021) due to covid situation but it doesn’t mean you should wait until restrictions are lifted for you to start the process. Your aim right now is to be document ready so that you’re ready to lodge your nomination application straight away once things go back to normal.

Thank you so much for your response! I hope you can help me with the list of requirements and things to do in the application. I just know that I need to take IELTS for english proficiency test, then VETASSES for the skill assesment and then when okay na ang points ko, I can lodge a EOI. I hope tama yung sinasabi ko po. Salamat po!

Hello po update lang po... as we checked my chem tech assesment sa vetasses, ay valid pa pala until August this year so I will try pa din ang chem tech we plan to renew it. I also took pte and got proficient result.
Tanong ko lang po kung pwede na po bang mag lodge kahit close pa ang chem tech?

Hello po @chemistmom , ngsubmit na po kmi ng agent ko first week of sept. 75points lang po ako and still convincing my hubby to take pte din sana pandagdag.. sabi ng agent ko, wait muna kami sa nov11 invitation rounds..

Hi po..tanong lang po na if na gain mo po ba ang additional points nung nag PTE si hubby mo? Nag pa asses din ba si hubby mo?
Medyo nalilito lang ako sa advise ng iba na need din daw mag pa asses ni hubby at take pte to gain additional points.

Hi @smiley02 need mo lang yon if magclaim ka ng points for your hubby. Til next year pa yung assessment ko ng Vetassess pero di pa ko nagPTE.

Hi @cjgr, yes tama po 3yrs ang validity. Kung same company ka pa rin po, no need to attach the same documents that you submitted to them upon renewal. However, you can upload any new additional supporting documents. Ganyan po ang ginawa ko nung nag apply ako ng renewal last week.

You need po muna na mag renew to see if you're qualified to gain points. Dun din naman mag babase ang EOI mo. We cannot declare any information without proof.

Hi @smiley02 , yes po nag-take naman sya. then nag-80pts na po kami. no assessment needed po for PTE nung time namin. Good luck and God bless po sa inyo ni hubby.

Good day po, would like to ask anyone who was granted a positive skills assessment with a position as analyst in a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing company? Nahire po ako as Quality Control Analyst but only worked for 2 years in that position kasi napromote as QC/lab supervisor (around 1.5 yrs lang) then napromote ulit last February as Assistant Manager, all in the same company. Can I still apply for the chemist occupation? I have many doubts sa description ko kasi may ma-match sa Industrial Pharmacist. Hope someone can help me. Newbie pa lang ako dito Thanks in advance

Hi @Jonnyv , sa pharma din ako after grad (Laboratory Analyst). Pero yung initial na claim ko na halos 4years ay binawasan pa ni Vetasses ng 1yr (yung first year ko bilang analyst kasi di pa daw ako qualified during those times). Tapos yung isang job ko bilang Sales and Applications Chemist ay negative talaga assessment nya, so 0year ako doon. Importante na yung mga tasks mo tlga ay ksama or closely related dun sa ANZSCO tasks.

Hello po, @bacolodhj, confirm ko lang po, bale 4 years po kayo na Lab Analyst, then 3 years lang po ba ang count nun upon assessment ng Vetassess? sa quality control din po kayo?
Thanks po and Godbless

Hi @Jonnyv , 3yrs and 7mos po claim ko pero yung number of years assessed positively lang po ay 2yrs7mos kasi daw yung first year ko ay parang "qualifying period" required to meet the skill level of the nominated or closely related ANZSCO occupation. Yes po sa QA Laboratory ako that time.

Hello po, tanong ko lang po kung pwede na po ako mag pa assess kahit na 2 yrs pa lang po yung experience ko as a chemist dto sa Philippines? May chance po ba akong makakuha ng positive skills assessment? Salamat po

If you are applying for 189 or 190, less than 3yrs ay 0 points. Baka mahirapan ka mainvite. Usually nagbabawas din ang Vetassess ng work experience, sa akin around 2 yrs ang hindi nacredit. Yung unang work ko.

I don’t see why not. Check also if your duties match chemistry technician. I had a client before who came to me with a negative outcome for chemist. I suggested to step down and use chemistry technician as it’s almost always easier to get a positive outcome that way. She’s in Australia now and we’re currently assisting her sister to migrate to Australia.

With regards to 2 years employment, that’s fine if 2 years lang. you’ll accumulate points over time. The important thing is you’re already on the EOI queue and on standby in case ma-invite. Your occupation isn’t as competitive as other professions and likely the criteria to be invited ie points isn’t as tough as other occupations.

It’s all about strategy. I always tell people if you see now you may be eligible, then there’s no point delaying your migration journey.

nag apply ako ng 190 last 2020 march but until now wala pa rin invite kahit 80 points na ako. mag e expire na rin EOI next month. nag submit ako ng ROI sa NSW riverina last month but so far no invites pa rin mababawasan na ako ng 10 points next after Sept 2022 kasi..
