I’ve been living in Australia for more than a year now. And in that period of time, I have observed the shortage in skilled workers here. This includes the deficit in specially trained individuals in the healthcare industry. But, the big question now is, how do you get here?

There are different types of visas out there thay can get you into Australia. But since we are on the topic of skilled individuals like physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists, we will focus only on the most common way of migrating here. This is via the General Skilled Migration Programme of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship of the Australian government.

General Skilled Migration Programme
This route is recommended for people who are not sponsored by an employer, and who have skills in particular occupations required in Australia.

Applicants must meet the ff. requirements:

• over 18 and under 45 years of age
• with good English language ability
• recent skilled work experience or a recently completed eligible Australian qualification
• have skills and qualifications for an occupation listed on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List (SOL)

Visa Options If You Are Outside Australia
A. Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175) - a permanent visa for people with skills in demand in the Australian labour market but are not sponsored & must pass a points test.

B. Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176) - A permanent visa for people unable to meet the Skilled – Independent pass mark. Applicants must be either sponsored by an eligible relative living in Australia or nominated by a participating State or Territory government. Applicants must pass a points test lower than that for the Skilled – Independent visa.

The Problem of R.A. 9439

“We are all kept alive by the work of man’s mind - the individual minds that still retain the autonomy necessary to think and to judge.  In medicine…the mind must be left free.”

— Leonard Peikoff, “Medicine: The Death of a Profession,” Voice of Reason, 306.

Republic Act 9439 or the Anti-Hospital Detention Law was signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo last April 27.  Under this law, it would be:

…unlawful for any hospital or medical clinic to detain or to otherwise cause, directly or indirectly the detention of patients who have fully recovered or partially recovered or have been adequately attended to or who may have died, for reasons of nonpayment in part or in full of hospital bills or medical expenses. (http://www.gov.ph/news/?i=17643).

Patients who wanted to leave the hospital but aren’t capable of settling bills will now have the right to demand to be allowed to leave the hospital with corresponding medical certificate and pertinent discharge papers upon execution of a promissory note covering the unpaid obligation.

The law was said to be not applicable to those who stayed in private rooms.

While it may seem that this law could help those who’re in need of medical care yet lack the finances, in turn, it actually directly transfers the burden of the unpaid expenses upon those who privately-own hospitals and indirectly to the hospital employees and other patrons of the hospital who diligently pay their bills.  It is doubtful that the government will subsidize any of these unpaid expenses because it cannot even take care of its own government hospitals.

and so i thought of getting a bunch of house geckos and let it loose at my place. house geckos are largely insectivores, but adults will consume spiders and other invertebrates, and occasionally juvenile geckos as well. they are strongly territorial and can be quite vocal at night, making a series of crisp, rapid chirps. they would sometimes wake us up at night by calling right above our bed. their color is quite variable, changing based on temperature and background. this might bother some of the neighboring units but what the heck. they were the ones who started it anyway! (grins) it actually worked at our house in batangas and we had amazing results. this is how the natural food chain process kicks in. the gecko eats the roaches and there you have it. they will most likely start to hang out in the open more as the population of roaches dwindles. so my plan is to catch some of these cuties when i go back to the province. oh sweet revenge!
