(1) Get a migration agent to guide you every step of the way.
(2) Read >> http://pinoyau.info/discussion/101/general-skilled-immigration-visa-step-by-step-process/p1
Doing it on your own is not impossible and will say you at least Php100K in agent's fee.

Try mo din tong srxglobal http://www.srxglobal.com but dto yan sa Victoria. Nagbabasa ko ng community newspaper nakita ko ung company, was surprised na may pcb assembly pala cla dto though maliit lang cguro ung mga pang defense at highly sophisticated/confidential ung ina-assemble nila dto sa Au the rest in Malaysia.
May mga iilan dn akong nakitang electronics company, mga small-medium scale lang cla pero nakalimutan ko na ung pangalan. Nag supplier visit lang kc kami non nataon same industrial park cla. Pag nag supplier visit ulit kami kunin ko ung name para ma check out mo ung website nila and see if they have recruitment or hr email add.

And nabasa ko lang dn pahapyaw lng sa 1 supply chain magazine fr APICS na according sa study ng mfng sa Au, food and pharma will continue to grow since Australia is exporting heavily to other countries like ung sugar industry sa Queensland (in Mackay) na ~2/3 ng pino produce nila goes to Export.
May class ulit kmi s Tuesday, will read thoroughly ulit ung article about s mfng and will share.
