    Hi, pasensiya na wala akong copy ng GTE kasi it’s been years ago. Just state there that you want to further your career and how education in Au will be advantageous to you. Never state there your intention of staying here in Au for good baka sabihin na hindi na babalik or something.

  Hi Ms. Cassey!
  
  Mag ask lng po sana ako. I received an offer from ACN in line with their bridging program. In relation to this, which type of visa would you suggest for me to apply. Some people say to apply for busines stream. But Im thinking if that visa will be enough since its max stay will be only upto 3months. So parang naiisip ko na saktuhan lng yung stay mo sa australia, and theres a tendency that you will go back to the Philippines just to exit and you will return back again to finish your program and do the registration for anmac. While if student visa, they said you will be granted with one year visa olus with working rights.

    There are conditions for Student Visa like the study should be 6mos. Since BP is only for 3mos, you are not eligible to apply for a SV.

  hello po Ms. cassey:) Anong universities po sa melb nag ooffer ng conversion program po? 1 year po ba talaga yun kasi po may nagsasabi ng 2 years. And mas mahal po ba sya kesa Iron Program ? thank you po ms. cassey

    Cassey

    Hi, Deakin Uni, La Trobe, Vic Uni yan yung mga alam ko na nagooffer dito sa Melb. Yes, malayong mas mahal siya around $27k per year ang fee. Yung duration depends on your qualifications and work experience. Usually, ang kumukuha ng 2yrs yung mga walang work experience. Ididiscontinue na nila ang BP, papalitan na ng exams i think this second half of the year.

    You can do a conversion course which is for 1yr or otherwise you can wait for the upcoming change wherein you will just have to take exams to gain registration here in Australia.

  Hi po Ms Cassy, ask lang po for any advice with regards to my case. PR Visa holder na po ako thru my husband and papunta na po kami AU ng June. Gusto ko po mag work as a nurse sa Au pero currently unemployed (since Nov 2017). May work experience po ako Pinas for 3 yrs and sa Singapore as a staff nurse from 2013 til 2017. Which is better pathway to take po kaya, mag NZRN application po then apply to AU under trans tasman or drecho na lang po apply sa Au and mag take ng (OBA) exam mid 2019. Worried po kasi ako na baka masayang pag nag apply muna ako sa NZ and irequire po ako ng CAP. Thank you po.

    Hi sorry I’m not very familiar with NZ registration. From what I’ve heard though, it is a direct registration if you’re a registered Sg Nurse. Are you still registered with Sg or no? If it’s a direct registration then you can possibly have this option but take note of how much time you’ll need as well from NZ registration to Au registration. If it’s going to take a while then might as well just wait for the OBA exam but of course, it’ll still depend on your circumstances and your readiness for the exams.

    Ahh i see, I am not currently registered with SG nursing board na po kasi. That's why im in doubt din po to pursue the NZRN pathway. If I will apply po sa ahpra to take OBA exam, do u suggest po na mag start na ako now mag pa assess? Kakapasa ko lang rin po ng OET this month. Or wait ko po muna until they release the new process po? Thank you so much po

    April 7
  • 
    Cassey

    I’m not 100% sure but I think you must have a current registration in Sg if you’re aiming for a direct registration in NZ. With the Au OBA, it hasn’t started yet so you just have to wait until they release the specifics.

  Hi Ms Cassey,
  
  Im currently studying conversion in WA and Im just wondering ano ung next step pag natapos ko ang conversion. To give a bit of a background po sakin, I only have 1 year and 4 months experience from Jan 2013 to Dec 2013 for the 1 year experience and Jan 2014- Apr 2014 for the 4 months experience, however ng awol po ako sa 4 months exp ko and di ko po makukuha coe for that. Also,I shifted to a travel career since July 2014 and i spent 4 years and 6 months in the travel industry. Tanong ko po: What are the best steps for me after I graduate from my conversion course? Thank you po and looking forward na malinawagan po regarding dito.

    After your conversion, you can already register as an Au Nurse through AHPRA. Once you are registered, you can then apply for ANMAC for a Skills Assessment. If you don’t have a recent experience, you might need to do a statutory declaration stating your reasons for not practicing for a while. Once you’ve got a positive skills assessment from ANMAC, you can apply for an Expression of Interest as long as of course, you meet the needed points for migration. There might some be upcoming changes with PR Visa though.

  Hi Ms. Cassey.

  Thank you po

    Yes, dapat RN siya rito sa Au so dapat nagaral rito, nakaregister sa AHPRA and may positive ANMAC Skills Assessment.

    Ah okie po mam. Iniisip ko po na ayos lng na basta may ielts siya then included yung work nmin parehas sa anmac skills. So dapat po pla nakapag bp na din siya sa australia and registered as rn

    March 21
  • 
    Cassey

    Ang condition is dapat parehong nasa MLTSSL list yung work ninyo or nasa STSOL pareho. Another condition is dapat may positive skills assessment siya from ANMAC. Hindi siya makakakuha ng positive skills Assessment from ANMAC without becoming a nurse here in Au na mangyayari lang kapag nagaral siya rito at naregister sa AHPRA.

  Hi Ms. Cassey,
  
  Nagpost po aq ng discussion knina pero not sure kung nabasa nyo. May na-receive po aq na offer to take Masters in Nursing, will this lead to registration or kailangan k pa din magtake ng conversion course? Kung hindi mn aq maka RN, ano po ung chances k mka apply ng PR at trabaho pag natapos k ung course?
  
  Thank you

  Share on Google+

  March 20
  • 
    Cassey

    For Masters, ang alam ko it will lead to registration so hindi mo na need pang magconversion course. Check the course sa website, usually nakalagay naman run if it will lead to registration or not. Unfortunately, if you’re not RN in Au, there’s no way that you can apply for PR. That is the pathway to becoming PR.

    March 21

    hanuer

    Salamat po sa info. Nabasa k sa website ng uni, conditional pla ung registration kaso walang binanggit na specific criteria kaya alanganin. Pa-advise nman po sa conversion course kung same po ba lahat ng duration na ino-offer (3 years ung nabasa ko), or may mas short term pa ba? Salamat..

    March 21
  • 
    Cassey

    Conversion is usually 1 or 2 yrs in duration depending on your work experience. Kung gusto mo ng sure pathway just take up conversion. Mind you though, you have to be careful in choosing school because there are some conversion Courses that doesn’t lead to registration.

    Hi, yes it’s a tourist visa on a business stream. Okay lang ang ACN, at this point wala ng nagbubukas ng BP because of the changes by Mid year so there’s not much of a choice.

    February 27

    You can always email them to clarify and best to confirm from them as well if they will still have intakes and slots otherwise you might be wasting your money.

Salamatpo

    You should always be consistent with your application. If you are married, you should declare it as such. Otherwise, you might encounter problems when applying later for PR because of the inconsistencies.

    To get that dapat both ng occupation niyo nasa skilled list. Kung nasa MLTSSL list yung occupation mo, dapat ganun din yung kanya at kailangan rin niyang magundergo ng skills assessment and get a positive result for his occupation.

    Thank you po for replying ms cassey... another thing po... After po ng skills assessment namen mag EOI na po ang next step? In which step po namen need iprove yung relationship namen? During EOI po b or DIBP visa application?
    And how comprehensive po yung details na need namen ipresent? Need po ba iattach yung mga proof like bills, photos etc...? Do we still need to make a “relationship statement”? medyo lost n po ako sa part na to...
    Again, thank you po for your insight...

    February 2
  • 
    Cassey

    Yung mga proofs, you will have to upload them once you get your (ITA) invitation to apply. Yes, you have to upload as many proofs as you can because even sa mga married couples, they ask for other proofs aside from the married cert. I suggest that you give proofs from year 1 to year 10 of your relationship.

    Hi, Personally, i would go for the BP kasi wala namang bearing sa paghahanap ng work yung tinapos mo rito sa Au. Pareho lang naman na maglelead sa registration so bakit mo pa papatagalin. Isa pang reason is, laging nagchchange yung rules dito sa Au which I’ve witnessed myself. Dati mas marami silang iniinvite, ngayon it was cut down..tapos patagal ng patagal ang processing time sa mga visa. The longer the course, the riskier. Ask yourself kung kakailanganin mo ba ng longer course and what you’ll get from it.. After all, depende pa rin naman sa circumstances mo yan like your would be points, finances, etc.

    Thank Ms Cassey. Original plan is the BP, medj nalito lang po ako kasi sabi nila mas matagal ka mag stay sa Au, mas madali raw po ma-PR. Kaya napaisip ako between the two! Thank you so much for answering so quickly.

    Cassey

    Oo mas matagal ka makakapagstay like for a year pero in that span of time, maraming pwedeng mangyari or changes. If you choose to do 1yr conversion, makakapagwork ka ng 20hrs a week. Pero it doesn’t mean na mas madali kang makapagPR. Ang PR is based on your points o kaya sa state nomination.

    My OET results came in and I got B in all the subtest except for speaking which is C+. Do you know if there’s a school in Aus who will accept that kind of marking?
    
    By the way, my aunt recently told me that they could help me petition my papers to get in Aus. They are already Aus Citizens. I told them that I wanted to go to Australia even if I don’t work as a nurse first. I just want to find a job first then save money for the BP. Is it possible to apply for an immigrant first? If possible, do you know the process?
    
    Thank you, Ms Cassey

    August 2018

    Cassey

    There is no direct pathway even if you have relatives here in Au. You will still have to be invited before you can lodge for a PR Visa. There’s a 489 visa if you want to be sponsored by your relatives but you will still have to study and be a nurse here because a skill assessment is needed. Without a positive skills assessment, you can’t apply.

    Thank you again! Ms @cassey My papers are almost complete now and possible to be mailed to AHPRA next week. But I don’t know which would be the mailing address I will use since they have a lot of offices. May I ask if you know where will I send them? Or do you know their mailing address? Thank you!

    Also, kailangan po ba separate yung pagpapadala ng from PRC, and yung ibang documents ko? Or pwedeng isang shipping na lang pero magkaiba ng mailing plastic? Parang in 1 big mailing plastic, there are 2 mailing plastic inside. Yung isa yung cogs (naka address from PRC), at yung isa laman yung mga docs ko.
    
    Or Di po yun pwede??? Para sana tipid Po sa shipping fee

    Hi, here’s AHPRA’s mailing address
    https://www.ahpra.gov.au/about-ahpra/contact-us.aspx
    
    Just choose the address of the State where you’re planning to study.
    COGS should be mailed separately as it’s meant to be sent directly to AHPRA coming from PRC and not from you.

    Can you help me in answering my AGOS-40 form. I’m quite confuse on question number 5. All the items to be cross-marked have “Australian”. How do I answer this one?
    
    Also, what are the best attachment I can provide on each category? Sabi po kasi need 1 attachment each category, naguguluhan po ako. Thank you!

  EOI Wrong Inputs
  
  Hi Ms. Cassey, ask ko lang po yung concern namin ng wife ko. Pareho po kase kaming nagsubmit ng EOI and pareho po kameng nasa IT field. Nagclaim kame ng Partner points (5pts). Pareho kaming nagpassess sa ACS at pareho kaming nagtake ng PTE. Nitong 11th ng Nov 2018, nauna pong nainvite si misis for visa 189 lodging. So si misis na yung naging primary at ako ang secondary applicant. While browsing back to her EOI, nakita nyang may mga mali po dun sa EOI.
  
  1. PTE reference number - since ako po ung secondary at nakailang take na po ako ng PTE, mukang ang naiinput e ung luma pero yung mga scores tama naman. Yun PTE reference number at scores naman nya e tama po.
  
  2. Work Experience dates - nuong inassess ng ACS ung skills nya, diba po kalimitan minus 2 years on the skill you are applying. Instead of June 2010, nailagay nya e ung 2008 pa din ung actual start year nya sa 1st work nya. Ituloy pa po ba nmin ung visa lodging?

    Hi, medyo complicated at risky yung situation niyo.
    
    Yung sa PTE ref no. mo, valid pa ba yung old na PTE at same score lang ba yung nailagay niyo kung ibibase sa old PTE ref number na provided niyo? Pag secondary applicant naman, ang kailangang score is functional lang.
    
    With regards to your experience dates, I can’t really comment on that since it’s all dependent on the CO. Some CO are by the book, some are lax. Yung ibang applicants nakakalusot, yung iba naman narerefuse dahil sa pagoverclaim. May ganyang instances na rito sa Forum na naapprove. If you can probably provide all the necessary documents for that experience, pwedeng makalusot. It’s up to you to decide since you both are on the line.

    Ms cassey, yes po valid pa po yung old PTE score last may 2017 ko lang kinuha yun. Ang nangyari po kase e, may luma akong PTE number na ginawa ko sa pinas then nagcreate ako ng panibago nung magpunta ako ng malaysia at nagtake ako dun. so nakita ung ng PTE yun, so nag email sila na i memerge na nila ung number sa isang number moving forward kaso hnde yun ang naiinput namin, ung luma pa din ung nalagay sa EOI.
    
    Normally, kelan po ba kame cocontactkin ng CO? Since last 11th lang kame nainvite, do we expect them to call us this week?
    
    Another thing pa po, since ako yung secondary applicant, ang pinassess ko lang po sa ACS e ung relevant experience ko for the past 10 years. Naggraduate po ako ng 2004, tapos nagwork ako sa call center as TSR from 2004 to 2008. Then nagshift career po ako ng developer programmer from 2008 to present. So ito lang ung pinassess ko sa ACS and napprove po ako sa Developer Programmer - 261312.
    
    Need ko pa po ba ipassess ulet sa ACS ung nauna kong work experience 04-08 as TSR? Isasama ko din po ba ung sa visa lodging in Form 80 as secondary applicant?

    Cassey

    Kung ipupursue niyo yung application, pwede kayong gumawa ng Form 1023. Tapos pwede niyo ring idagdag yun sa Part T ng Form 80 ninyo.
    
    I’m not too sure with the trend now. Yung kakilala naming nagapply, i think 2 mos na sila pero wala pang CO contact. I suggest that you check the monthly threads here in the forum.
    
    There’s no need to have the call center experience assessed if it’s not relevant to the occupation.
    
    You can however put it in Form 80 and just put a remark there that it’s not relevant to the occupation being assessed.
    
    Yung work experience niya ba na nailagay, did she overclaim points or pareho lang yung points? Sa date lang namali?

    November 2018

    So bale po si misis nagwork po talaga sa pinas from 2008 to 2015. Then sa malaysia from 2015 to present. then pinassess nmin sa ACS at nakareceive kame ng approval. Tapos may note dun na:
    
    The following employment after Jun 2010 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level relevant to 2361111..."
    
    Dates: 06/08 -4/15 -- 6 years 10 months
    Position: XXXX
    Employer: XXXX
    Country: Philippines
    
    Dates: 04/15 -3/18 -- 2 years 11 months
    Position: XXXX
    Employer: XXXX
    Country: Malaysia
    
    So bale po ang nailagay nya pa din ung 2008 sa EOI, mukang naoverlook nya ung note ng ACS na nagminus 2 year sila. 2010 dapat po ata ang nailagay sa EOI. Right now po mag 10 years na work experience nya. At since 2008 ang nailgay nya 15 points po yun. Pero kung 2010, 15pts pa rin naman po yun diba? So hnde po sya nagoverclaim. Tama po ba?

    If the CO will consider her experience up to now then it’s 15 points. Did she change job roles or position? If not, I guess it’s okay. BUT, just like what I’ve said, it will all be dependent on your CO. Maybe, attach a newer COE so that the CO will see that nothing changed.
    You have to be very careful with your answers because they’re checking consistency in the application.

  Ms Casey
  
  I graduated Mar 2003 and only included Feb 2004 - onwards on my ACS assessment as I am not planning to claim any pts bet Mar2003 to Jan2004 and just declare it as unemployed. Will this have an effect on my visa application?
  
  I worked between Sept 2003 to Jan 2004 - but the company already closed and I have no reference for this previous company and can't remember if I was already on probationary period.
  
  Please advise.

    It doesn’t have any bearing with the visa application. You’ll just have to explain on your Form 80 why you wrote unemployed at that time.

  Hi Ms. Cassey! I'm planning to apply for student visa and the agency suggested to take Masters of public health. Naghehesitate lang ako kasi malaki ang gastos. Yun lang po kasi pathway ko to work in Aus since i dont have any experience in community and hospital. Regulatory kasi ang field ko dito sa pinas. Meron pa po bang ibang options sa case ko?
  Thank you in advance Ma'am.

    Cassey

    Have you checked kung pwede kang magtake ng exam instead for Pharmacists? The only thing though with this is you don’t have an experience which is needed if you want to migrate.
    
    I think Masters was suggested so that you can apply for the 485 visa once you finished your course which will buy you out 2 yrs. But does that course have a PR Pathway? Even if you finished your studies here kung wala sa list yung occupation mo at wala kang experience, you can’t migrate here.

    So since wala po akong experience in community & hosp, does it mean manenegative assessment po ako for eligibility if ever mag exam ako ng KAPS?

  Hi Cassey, maybe you could help me on this one.
  I am pharmacist and applied for pharm tech. Vetassess gave me negative result because of not highly related work description, more on phramacist daw. Naghanap ako ng ibang forum about negative assessmemt, and sabi ng iba, they resubmit cv and ss with new jd that is highly relevant sa anzco and got positive. Im planning to do this step but lookibh for some thoughts ng iba png may experience.Do you have any idea on wht is next best thing to do about my situation. I am currently asst branch manager at yun ang una ko ng naipasa n statement. Hay! Very unfortunate mistake. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, you can have your documents reassessed. But this time, you have to pattern your JD and CV to that of a Pharmacy Technician role. Google JD of PharTech here in Australia and choose which applies to you.

  hi ms. cassey. i will be taking 1 year nursing conversion in ECu since wala na ang BP. The hospital na im working kasi wala official hospital email address ang meron lang ay @yahoo.com. isa kasi sa criteria ng anmac ay All of your professional references MUST meet the following criteria:include this contact information for each referee:
  official hospital email address (ANMAC will not accept emails that are sent from free web-based email accounts). Useless po ba if i will push thru with australia? kasi 1Million tuition sa ECU tapos di ako ma aassess. Hope you can reply.

    Hi, just provide whatever it is. You can have a Statutory Declaration stating that your hospital’s only email address is @yahoo. Hindi useless. That is just a part of the assessment.

  Hello, Cassey!
  
  I've been following a thread and you were very responsive and helpful sa mga nagtatanong. I am currently sending out applications to schools for my BP, I am hoping that I can still make it to their first terms (January to April intake). I applied in Monash, Deakin, SCU and UniSA. Are these good schools for BP? And how long would it usually take for them to respond sa applications? I am getting a feeling kasi that with the year ending soon, baka full na most of the slots. Any insights? And additional question, can you provide po a timeline from the receipt of LOE to flying to AU for BP? Many Thanks!

    Hi, Those schools are top notch and in here it doesn’t really matter where you graduated. As an overseas nurse, employers are more likely to look at your experience. With the incoming changes with the assessment next year, mukha ngang punuan na yung slots... As far as I know, Deakin is already closed for their Jan and June intakes.Usually, they reply within 2-3weeks, depends on the Uni though. Timeline is dependent on the date of intake.
