question po.. sa invitation rounds ng Victoria. once po ba naka receive ng letter or email na elligible for the next round then dumating yun round na yun at hindi na invite meaning ba nun wala na chance ma invite sa mga susunod pa na round?

pwede ka pa rin mapili sa susunod na rounds. depende sa criteria ng VIC yan though.

Hello po, anyone here mga ka SG na nag driving lesson here at nakuha ng license, any advise po saan ok? Ilang months po bago makakuha ng license (hindi provisional).
After po ba nang lessons pwede sya magamit sa AU? Need to register lang? Salamat po :-)

Hi @DreamerG. Nag take ako ng driving lessons, theory tests and practical driving test sa SG. At nakapasa naman at nakareceive ng SG Driving License. BBDC ako nag take.
Based sa nabasa ko, kasali ang SG sa Recognised countries and jurisdictions in Aus. Meaning, exempted na sa driving test, mas madali na magconvert or kumuha ng state/territory DL.
Although my DL din ako sa pinas. Nonrecognized ang Ph kaya required and theory and practical test sa Aus.
Hindi ko pa na experience ung actual process sa Aus, kaya wait ko din reply ng mga kabayan natin na nasa Aus na.

hello, may PH drivers' license ako nung nagtake ng theory test sa SG (2019), after nun, conversion na nakakuha ako ng SG driver's license.
Pagdating ng Aus (Adelaide kami) direct conversion na yung SG license to AU license, punta ka lang ng Service Centre. Dun nko nagtake ng lessons sa driving instructor para maging familiar sa driving rules etc sa Aus.

Nope, eto yung exam

Sulit na magtest now kasi 5 yrs na daw validity. When I took it almost 3 yrs ago, 3 yrs lang valid. Isa din ata ako sa mga last batches na in-person before COVID happened. So ngayon na online na sya and mas matagal validity with the same price, I think ok din sya i try.

Hi po mga ka-SG, need po sana namin ng advice niyo. We will be starting our #AUDream this coming Jan 2023, nag-ggather napo kami documents for our VetAssess. Kaya lang medyo may plot twist lang sa current work ko dito sa SG. I'm currently pregnant with our firstborn ^^ and ung 3months maternity leave ko sana sa pinas is ki-nounter offer ng boss ko ng permanent WFH nalang. Ang catch lang is icacancel na nila ung pass ko.
They will not also issue me any internal contract kaya ang worry ko po is ano kayang documents pwede mag-support ng employment ko from January 2023 onwards? I'm thinking of my Payslips and Bank transfer ng salary po sana pero hindi ata sila classified as primary document?
I'm CE/QS btw, ung sample related proof of work ko kaya h-honor ng Vetassess?
Salamat po in advance sa tutugon! Happy New Year sa lahat! )))

Hi, for any company po na pa assess nyo, better po to have proper documentation, sa last company nyo po sa SG better to have the following;
1.) Reference Letter
2.) Payslip (specially the last 3 months altleast but more is better
3.) Acceptance Letter ng Resignation showing your last day
4.) Bank statement (if ever hindi available payslip)
5.) Other docs na makikita yung transactions po na related sa company
If regards po sa 3 months WFH without pass, better not to include po bka po pag na invite na is hindi majustify on papers. Important you have enough years even how many companies po para mag pa assess.
Yan lang po muna ma comment po, hope it helps :-)

Hi @DreamerG! Salamat!
Actually ung WFH ko ay hindi lang 3months, indefinite po siya kaya nanghihinayang ako na hindi ko siya maclaim later on. Hindi din ako nagfile ng resignation and hindi naman din ako hiningan ng company. Meaning ba wala ng chance maclaim ko WFH work experience ko?
