Hi @mathilde9 thanks for your useful infos and sharing your experience and congrats to your BM! last month lang din ako na-grant and planning for my BM hopefully within this year, regarding sa SG license kumuha ako early this year so P1 yun pag nagpa-convert ako sa NSW, ano yung letter from TP HQ? Online application lang ba yun or need ko pumunta personally para kunin sa TP HQ? Thank you.

Hi! Yes, ganyan intindi ko sa explanation sakin ng staff. Sa case mo, P1 (red P) muna maissue. Ito din related article from Service NSW: https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/driver-and-rider-licences/visiting-or-moving-to-nsw/moving-your-overseas-licence-to-nsw

Yung letter, kelangan mo pumunta mismo sa TP HQ to get it. Magbook ka lang appointment, same day nakukuha sya.

Thanks @mathilde9! oo nga P1 muna ibibgay saken, ok na din at least di na need mag test at direct conversion na, bawas sa iisipin pag lipat jan haha

Pwede straight conversion from PH license to Full NSW license as long as may evidence na 3 years ka na holder ng DL. Di kailangan mag Learner as long as valid pa yung PH license (within 6 months for 491 / 3 months for 190 and 189) when you taje the practical test.

I asked the NSW Service staff in Sydney for options to get a licence and told me I still need to take knowledge and practical tests if I will use my PH driver's licence. I'm a holder for more than 5yrs and driving manual in PH, but still said I need to start from scratch. That's when I presented my SG full licence, pero P2 pa rin inissue since I only have it for 2yrs+, had i gotten it more than 3yrs, they would have issued a full nsw licence. Okay na din anyway, importante makapag drive muna.😆

Edit: i don't consider it kasi as "conversion" if I still have to take knowledge and/or practical tests. Parang back to zero din kelangan ulitin. Nag right-hand drive na din naman ako in sg and here in aus. P2 is okay para medyo cautious pa rin and aware yung ibang drivers hindi ko pa master ang aus roads.

Mukhang mas strict sa NSW ah. I had my PH driver's licence "converted" to full AU licence here in SA. DId a knowledge test and practical test within a month. Then ayun, got my full AU driver's licence

I think same thing din naman sa NSW need mo mag theory then practical test if you want to convert yung PH license mo to AU license.

Ako I got my SG license for about 1yr then pina convert ko to AU license dito sa SA at nabigyan ako ng full license.

Ang difference lng ng PH at SG license pag pina convert dto sa AU, yung PH license need pa mag theory exam at practical while SG license wala na deretcho convert na

Then ayos pala, no concern for PH driver's licence holders anywhere sa AU. Pwedeng pwede magpa-"convert" to AU full driver's licence.

Madali lang naman 'yung theory test and 'yung practical test, need lang talaga maging aware sa rules dito sa AU. I did a few hours (around 6 hours siguro) with a driving instructor for familiarisation and booked my practical test. Fortunately nakapasa. Doable naman, need lang talaga practice even for long-time drivers na sa Pinas.

Hello,

Kamusta po? Silent reader lang po ako dito sa forums and I don't know if this is the right thread for this post po.

Konting background lang po, our visa is subclass 190 which was granted last year. IT background din po ako, Web Development to be exact. Nun April, nag BM po ako dito(Melbourne) kasi plan namin na mauna ako para makahanap ng work and accommodation then susunod un family ko once meron na both.

Fast forward to present time, wala pa rin po ako work na makuha. I tried applying both white and blue collar jobs pero wala ako makuha na interviews. I tried everything( trailor-fit my resume and cover letters, walk-in applications, online applications, etc.) Pero I don't know why wala ako makuha interviews even sa blue collar jobs( cleaning, store assistants, etc). Nag-apply din ako sa Aldi, Coles and Woolworths pero rejected pa rin.

To be honest, iniexpect ko na kahit sa blue collar jobs madali ako makapasok kasi PR na. Sa mga nag BM na po and nakahanap ng work agad, any advice po sa job hunting?
