@ Oga Bellong,
Nice thread. So much to learn here.
Thanks for taking your time to ensure others are well informed.
I'm a medical doctor struggling with AMC for a while.
I'm interested in the 'possible pathway for medical practitioners'.
Is it ok if I pm you regarding this?
thank you

Physiotherapy board is different from the medical board. There is no point collaborating. Visit the physiotherapy board website for further information. I think the process for physiotherapist is not as cumbersome as those in Medicine.

Thank you sir. I appreciate.

One more thing pls. From our calculation, age 25, qualification 10, English hopefully 20. That comes to 55, since there's no work experience. What else can he do pls? Thank you.

Tito19,

He can nominate Electrical engineering draftsperson, it is both on the SOL and CSOL lists.

EA is the authority assessing it. Like previously said, he can write his CDR based on IT and school project while you balance the points from other areas.

No, you don't have to be COREN or other professional body registered before getting positive assessment as a professional engineer. You only need a bachelor degree and a good CDR.

Apply for state nomination

Thank you very very much.

bellong:


Apply for state nomination

For those who have to write statement of commitment for State's nomination, I have attached a sample written for a friend.

You can use the template to write yours and add to the reasons as need be.

Goodluck

sunvick:
How much do you want to have transferred?

Thanks. I sent you a PM

bellong:


Since you have a friend in Oz, why is he not helping you get it?

Not working, still studying

Thank you madam

He doesn't have to work. He can help you ask around.

I've asked him to help do just that for two weeks now......said he's yet to find anyone. Don't want to push him too hard (he's only helping).

Thanks a lot...pls a quick one...can I submit a notification of result for assessment as I am yet to collect my MBA certificate.(school is even on strike at d moment)..

Also, can one use banking experience to apply as an accountant? I want to be sure my experience before proceeding.

Bimpsy99:
Hi
CPA and other accountant assessing bodies will accept your ACCA membership and equate it to bsc. That way u may not need the MBA assessed since it doesn't confer additional points.

Please note that your relevant work experience (for points sake) can only start counting from the date u became an ACCA member (not affiliate) because your Bsc in Agric isn't relevant in this regard but you may still want to submit it.

You can consider your best option and what other assessing bodies your MBA will be most beneficial cos Accountant is highly competitive. You may need to have 20 points in English to be better positioned.

All the best.

I have replied you mail.

ok. thank you

Sad but thanks . I appreciate

With VETASSES, to get positive assessment you need at least one year experience which you don't have.

Aside that, no state is sponsoring that occupation except South Australia and it is on the special conditions list meaning that you must hat least 80points to be invited.[/quote]

Hello House,

Just a quick clarification as I’m in the process of submitting my EA application. I’ve reference letters signed and stamped from all the three companies I’ve worked (all written using EA guidelines). Do I still need to upload pay slips and bank statements in support.

Yes, you do. You also have to submit tax clearance or RSA pension.

Rett0:

Thanks

Just am confused as all those were not mentioned in the MSA Booklet. Plus there are no specific spaces created to upload them in the portal.

D reference letters r sufficient. Only oda thing is payslips. Tax certs not necessary. D booklet is clear on what you should provide. I submitted reference letter and payslips only and I had no issues with EA.

The booklet states 'AND'

AND
Documents issued by the related government agency or any other organisation not related to your employer, such as:
Social Security/Social Insurance Report
OR
Income Tax (Acknowledgment)/Payroll Tax report
OR
Superfund Contribution Statement
OR
Provident Fund Statement/Retirement contribution reports
OR
Work permit
NOTE: Company name must be stated on each document.

Superfund= RSA pension. You might have sailed through without it but I would advice he provides them since it's a requirement.

@Zanyzara,

Few people responded to your query but you chose not to acknowledge or respond to any. It is not courteous. Your response will help give further advice or information.

Nevertheless, contact EA, ask for which class of occupation will a mechanical engineering associate fall into. I can't see any occupation for a mechanical engineering associate. In addition, was your bachelor assessed to be equal to AQF Bachelors degree? If yes, irrespective of the occupation you are given, you can claim full point from qualification.

I hope you respond to this.

Hello all,
Been following this thread for a while now

I just want to ask guys who have crossed over to that side to narrate their experiences...has ur dreams turned to fruition? How has ur experiences Been like while job hunting? Etc

Your question is ambiguous. Everybody has a reason for relocation, individual differs on why he/she chose to relocate, so streamlining experience into one sentence will not answer your question.

First, identify why you want to move. Some moved because they want to live in a sane environment, some for personal health, some to escape family drama and issues while majority relocated for economic prosperity.


In saying the above, your reason for relocation will determine whether the move worth it or not. However, irrespective of the reasons that initiated your relocation, you will definitely find what you are looking for in the long run.
If you are moving for economic prosperity, I wouldn't say you will get a job immediately you arrive but no matter what you will get something reasonable doing within the first six months "worst" case scenario. It is why the government advised that migrants bring enough resources for the first six months.
It doesn't mean you can't get a job immediately. South Australia has the highest rate of unemployment despite the statistics, I know people who got something doing within three weeks of arrival. No two people are the same, there are individual circumstances such as your employable skills, good resume, transferable skills, good cover letter and interview performance not forgetting networking which can land you a job faster than any other process.

In summary, understand why you are relocating so you will be able to measure if your dreams or expectations have been met. Then have a realistic expectations of what to get. The system is relatively fair to all except you are extremely ignorant. Be conversant with your work conditions and speak up against your employer if your rights are being trampled on or if you are being denied. No one has the right to bully you at work, if you are being bullied or discriminated against, you have the luxury of escalating it to the Work, Health and Safety (WHS) body in your state to mediate. This is without any repercussions against you.

For my own reasons, expectations are being met and for everyone in this country, things can only get better.

@Zanyzara,

I hope you respond to this.

I'm very sorry bellong and all.

I'm contacting EA before I brief the house on the outcome. My degree has not been assessed/commented on. Although I have a B.Tech.

Once again, pardon me.

Thanks.

@ozzymigrant and @rett0, u really do not need these documents. Just upload your reference letters and payslips. If EA asks for more, then u can look for tax certificates.from my experience, u do not need dese docs. EA no dey stress.apply first. Hustle d rest, if they ask.
