@clven1845. Hello po. Med. Tech din po, though naclassify po ako sa AIMS na Medical Laboratory Technician ( I was not able to pass the AIMS Examination to be classified as Medical Laboratory Scientist.) I am visa Subclass 190, sponsored po ng South Australia. Ako I used a Migration agent which is true blue migration services. Ako I opt to use their services kasi mas less yung hassle. as long as you have the means po. I think one of the requirements of AIMS is a IELTS na may OBS na 7. Mas Maganda po kung maipapasa nyo yung AIMS examination since ang Medical Laboratory Scientist is nasa SOL unlike po ang Medical Laboratory Technician is nsa CSOL ( which requires state sponsorship).

hi, @kcernestine1213 - question po, part po ba ng skills assessment ng Med Lab Scientist ung exam ng AIMS?
nasa SA na po ba kayo?

@lock_code2004 Ako po kasi initially nagpaassess sa AIMS. They assess me as suitable as Medical Laboratory Technician though licensed Med. Tech po ako dito sa Pinas. Yes, one has to undergo po ng AIMS Professional Exam to be called Medical Laboratory Scientist po( counter part po ng Licensure Examination dito sa atin sa Pinas). Only, ACT and South Australia lang po ang nagsponsor ng Medical Laboratory Technician ( which is sa SA po ngayon ay special condtions na ang availability for sponsorship, while sa ACT naman po 7 po ang kailangan na score sa speaking para masponsor ka nila.) Mas ok po kung maipapasa yung AIMS Professional Exam para maging Medical Laboratory Scientist ,since nasa SOL po siya and at the same time marami din state ang nagsponsor sa kanya.

hi, about sa topic na ito, naisip ko din mag-migration agency pero nagtanong ako sa mga kakilala ko (dating officemates in the IT field) na may PR visa na sa Australia. all of them applied without an agency. sabi nila straightforward naman yung nasa website. advantage ko kasi madami ko napapagtanungan, bukod dito sa pinoyau forum.
may pinuntahan din akong migration agency, may free assessment sila, I sent my CV at may feedback yung migration agent kung ano yung chances na makapunta. (based on work experience, education). then may one-on-one orientation sa office nila. bale P60,000 daw yung processing fee, nung 2011 yun. not sure ngayon.
nag-take na pala muna ko ng IELTS bago nagtanong agency. pero kung di pa ko nakapag-take willing daw sila bigyan ako ng IELTS review materials kasama na sa fee.
Subclass 175 ang akin, Skilled Independent.

@clven1845 Hi there sorry for the late reply, I was on holidays kaya hinde nakapacheck sa PinoyAu.
I applied directly so I dont have any experience with a migration agent sorry.
If you are to choose between ACT or SA, of course I would recommend SA due to cost of living. As of the moment nasa Special conditions ang SA State Sponsorship (it was on High availability when I applied 2 years ago)

@ Ren & kcernestine1213, thank you sa info. Actually naka-sched na ako for IELTS this coming April, nawa I will make it sa Band score na 7 sa 4 modules. na-pipressure ako especially self review lang ako ngayon at the same time di rin maka-concentrate sobrang pagod na pag-uwi from work kasi 9 hours duty, sa computer pa everyday preparing IPP's para sa CAP accreditation ng lab sobrang pagod na magbasa pa at home. I really plan to take the AIMS exam sabay ng ASCP kasi wherever palarin doon, pero mas priority ko ang AU, wala kasing future sa KSA work lng talaga, at 12 yrs na rin ako dito on the same company. Kaya IELTS lng talaga need ko maipasa for now para matutuloy na pangarap ko. @ lock_code2004 thank you too...

Do you need to use an Australian Registered Migration Agent?
IMHO, NO... nakarating ako dito sa AU ng sariling sikap... nasa website naman lahat ng reqts... kelangan mo lang matyaga magbasa at magtanong tanong dito sa forum
need mo ng agent pag wala kang time, sila na yung parang magrereseach at mag process ng documents mo... options lang naman kung masipag ka talaga at may time ka... pinakaimportante.
napakadali lang magresearch at magprocess ng docs... lahat nasa website kung ano gagawin...
kung mag agent ka kaw pa rin kukuha ng docs mo...kaw magpapanotaryo... kaw pa rin gagawa ng 90% ng reqts... yung bayad mo ng pagkamahal mahal e 10% lang yung ginawa nila... pag natapat ka pa sa agent na nde updated sa latest changes... yari ka na...
mas maganda pa rin na diy... pambaon mo na yung bayad mo sa agent... opinion ko lang nman.

In fairness may mga RMA's na maasikaso at talagang gagabayan ka, they are pricey though. I guess engaging their services make perfect sense pag hirap ka sa initial requirements (i.e. wala trabaho mo sa SOL, mababa IELTS, medyo may edad na)...nakakatulong sila hanapan ka ng paraan para makakuha ng visa hehe

@nfronda Hi! My dad was on subclass 457 visa and I was his dependent. I was included in his application for subclass 186.
nfrondaPerth Posts: 816Member Joined: Mar 19, 2013
@meL23..Thanks for that.. Same case din samin, but unfortunately hndi kmi na include sa PR visa ng dad namin as dependent kasi over age kmi. But on the other side were fortunate enough ksi nkaapply kmi ng visa namin on our own sponsored by our employer and got granted.. Hndi ksi nag agent c dad nung nag apply xa at ngka mis understood cla ng employer nya. But anyway, ok na rin un..
At marami din akong kakilala na over age na, pro naisama pa rin as dependent sa application ng dad nla. Sa pgkakaalam q nag agent cla at nag enroll lg sa Tafe to be considered as dependent.
So lahat pla kayo over age na nung nag apply kayo ng PR, ur lucky enough at nasama kayong lahat.

@nfronda Yes, we are indeed That's why I accepted his offer to work for him, so I can help with other Filipinos who aspire to live and work in this beautiful country. I personally believe that the rigorous study they have undergone to get their license to practice migration law is a major advantage in any visa application, something that we cannot hope to learn in the period of time it takes to process an application. In all honesty there is no guarantee that your application will get granted if you engage the help of migration agent, but then again, so will it be if you handle it alone. The edge of having a migration agent is the assurance that you have someone helping you who knows what they're doing. They understand the ins and outs of Australian immigration rules and requirements, and the reason why those are such. Some people might be concerned with the professional fees, and let me tell you I know where you're coming from. But at the end of the day, money is of no value when it is not spent accordingly, just a colored piece of paper that mediates trade. I suggest that you initially check for migration agents through recommendations of friends and workmates, then take the time to talk to each of them so you'll have an idea of the workload division and the agent's PF as well. Australia is a country of wonder, although I must say that my heart will always belong to the Philippines. But if there is an opportunity to be where the grass is greener, why let it pass?

The rule of the thumb is if you
1. Your case is different , complicated or your not sure or 2. You have money to burn
Then go for an agent ... wag manghula ng VISA class

advantage ko kasi madami ko napapagtanungan, bukod dito sa pinoyau forum.
may pinuntahan din akong migration agency, may free assessment sila, I sent my CV at may feedback yung migration agent kung ano yung chances na makapunta. (based on work experience, education). then may one-on-one orientation sa office nila.
bale P60,000 daw yung processing fee, nung 2011 yun. not sure ngayon.
nag-take na pala muna ko ng IELTS bago nagtanong agency. pero kung di pa ko nakapag-take willing daw sila bigyan ako ng IELTS review materials kasama na sa fee.
Subclass 175 ang akin, Skilled Independent.

I applied directly so I dont have any experience with a migration agent sorry.
For the assessment go to http://www.aims.org.au/services/assessments AIMS
You have two options, to be assessed as Medical Lab Technician or (like @kcernestine1213 said), upgrade for a Medical Sci and sit for an examination.
If you are to choose between ACT or SA, of course I would recommend SA due to cost of living.
As of the moment nasa Special conditions ang SA State Sponsorship (it was on High availability when I applied 2 years ago)
Hope that helps, any questions just send me a PM

kung mag agent ka kaw pa rin kukuha ng docs mo...kaw magpapanotaryo... kaw pa rin gagawa ng 90% ng reqts... yung bayad mo ng pagkamahal mahal e 10% lang yung ginawa nila... pag natapat ka pa sa agent na nde updated sa latest changes... yari ka na...
mas maganda pa rin na diy... pambaon mo na yung bayad mo sa agent... opinion ko lang nman.

At marami din akong kakilala na over age na, pro naisama pa rin as dependent sa application ng dad nla. Sa pgkakaalam q nag agent cla at nag enroll lg sa Tafe to be considered as dependent.
So lahat pla kayo over age na nung nag apply kayo ng PR, ur lucky enough at nasama kayong lahat.

1. Your case is different , complicated or your not sure or
2. You have money to burn
Then go for an agent ... wag manghula ng VISA class
