Hello po s lht..approved kme ng asawa ko for 475 ss of Qld (tnx God). magtatanung po sna kung meron ba ditong familiar about qld regional areas na madali makakuha ng work. Di kse nmin alam san kame pupunta. Di kase pwede po sa Brisbane or Gold Coast kse my certain / specified areas lng for visa 475. parehas kame ng asawa ko engineering graduate but not practicing..ako ngayn into banking and sya din and as additional skills nag aaral po ngayn ng butchery mr ko. kase learned from a friend na in demand po daw yun dyan. sana po matulungan nyo ko sa sa queensland ok mag settle, yung may mga jobs po for bankers..and also tinatangap kya or my chance kya matanggap sa oz yung diploma lng but walang experience? just in case mag apply din kme ng pang engineering na work? Thanks po sa lht ng sasagot

Hi there! Congrats on the visa!!! Maraming places dito sa QLD na pwedeng puntahan like Cairns, etc. I suggest applyan niyo lahat ng pwede - engineering, butchery, banking...Tapos whichever comes first, grab it! Important lang naman is to have a job as soon as possible to kickstart your settlement here. Try applying online before you even move here, mataas ang chance na may mag-reply agad sa inyo. God bless!!!

Hi! I work in the city (Brisbane) and live in Logan (suburb). At least 30 minutes apart by train. Pero by car, mga 20 minutes lang siguro. Yup, job hunting was not stressful for me. I got a job in a week's time. Pero case-to-case and depends on the market too. My husband is a nurse, but still needs to be registered here, so medyo nahirapan siya. But he now has 2 jobs (not related to nursing though).

@KEMENG
Hi.. 475 din ako dati at nagpunta ako sa toowoomba qld dahil yun lang yun malapit sa brisbane ng regional areas na pwede ako work... From mechanical engineering ako pero experience ako sa semiconductor in singapore...nahirapan akong makakuha work sa field ko so i tried anything like butchery,cleaning habang naghahanap ng ibang work.

Ewan ko lang kung talagang ganito sa au..after na magkaroon ako ng australian work experience(butcher,cleaning) for 2 months ay nakakuha naman ako ng mechanical related job(hydraulics) at agad nila akong sponsor for PR.kaya try to grab kahit ano muna..tyaga lang at makakakuha rin kayo ng gusto nyo... Mag lodge din ako ng accreditation ng degree nyo thru skilling solution qld...malaki tulong sa akin yan..goodluck.

@aileen777, hi po visa grant din po ako under 489 visa. Ask ko lang po if yung butchering ay required kayo na may experience or hindi po? Balak ko din po sana sa Toowoomba. Marami po bang pinoy dun. Thanks po in advance

Marie · March 2014

@ajet02
hi, we're from toowoomba, been here since 2008 - 2009, mdami din pinoy dito, and u asked about butchery jobs, may isang company dito just recently they hired around 7 pinoys (457 visa), and i think they are still hiring, toowoomba is a nice place, nice weather, nice people, 1.5 hours drive from brisbane,

ajet02 · March 2014

Hi @Marie thanks po sa reply. Ask ko lang din po if san ako pwede maghanap ng matutuluyan if ever magpunta po ako jan. May alam po ba kayo place na pwede ko pagtanungan? Balak ko po sana this coming april na magpunta jan. Thank you very much po in advance!

ajet02 · March 2014

@Marie, if ever po na meron ung pang long term ok lang din po sakin or mas ok sana kung may mga Pinoy jan sa Toowoomba na naghahanap ng ka share sa bahay. Bale mag isa lang po ako pupunta dun but my wife will follow me later if stable na ko. Sana po may ma irecommend kayo sa akin

Thanks!

Marie · March 2014

@ajet02, ang alam ko po, may mga pinoy dito na naghahanap ng mga ka-share, lalo na po ung mga bagong dating under 457 visas, ung nabanggit ko earlier, (7 katao) dati po silang 8, umuwi na po ata ung isa, mostly po kasi ng rental houses dito is 4 BR, so i'm not sure kung ung 3 na magkaksama is naghahanap ng additional, wala po akong gaanong info about them, only thing i know is sa beef city sila lahat working. most likely kailn po ba ang dating nyo, pwede din po ako magtanong tanong, but i'm not giving u total assurance. and isa pa po, kay mrs. po itong account na ito, husband po ako ng account holder, nakikibasa lang po sa mga issues dito sa forum, kung sakali makatulong, tutulong kahit paano.

ajet02 · March 2014

Thank you po sa info @Marie siguro po mga middle ng april ang dating ko jan and plan ko sana dumirecho sa Toowoomba. Sana po madali lang humanap ng house na may ka share especially yung mga Pinoys kasi nga po wala ako kakilala sa lugar. I'll be posting again po if my ticket na ko para sure na talaga. Salamat po ng madami!

ajet02 · March 2014

Hi po @Marie nakapagpabook na po ako ng flight to Brisbane balak ko sana direcho na sa toowoomba, baka po may suggestion kayo kung san ako pwede maghanap ng place to rent or house sharing na pinoys or kung wala po kahit hndi pinoy ok lang din. Salamat po ng marami!

ajet02 · March 2014

tanj · July 2014

Hi, may tanong lang ako about QLD state sponsorship, 489 visa. Sa regional QLD na lang kasi open ang occupation ko and one of the requirements for 489 sponsorship is to secure a job offer from regional QLD. Mahirap ba talaga ung paghanap ng employer? Offshore kasi ako at ung occupation ay sa finance/business industry. Salamat.

Marie · July 2014

@tanj,

good am/pm po sa inyo, u mentioned about job offer, ang pagkaintindi ko po sa requirements ng subclass 489, hindi po need ang job offer...base po dito....

http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/489.aspx

if u have a job offer, ibang visa category po ata un, if not mistaken subclass 457 (temporary work - skilled visa)..

http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/457.aspx

hindi ko lng po alam kung nabago na ang requirements,

salamat po, cheers....

@Marie @ajet02 Hi Marie and ajet02. I recently got my visa grant 489. I plan to go to Toowoomba also. But I don't know where to start kc wala naman po ako kakilala. Ajet02 I would assume you're already settled there by this time?

Hope you can help me. I need to find a place to stay and a job. kahit ano lang po hehe. thank u
