Hi All,My better half has just completed her PhD in cancer research in the UK. We are looking at Australia migration and either wish to apply for a posdoc in Australia or industry research positions - but we are not sure if we can go via this/ qualify via a skills assessment.She has one year and a half years experience in industry (in New Zealand) but it was after her BSc degree more than 4 years ago. Does her PhD counts as work experience? She was being paid for her PhD and worked more than 35 hours a week. So it is pretty much the same as doing a normal science research position but at the end she had to write up a thesis about her research and gain a PhD. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are in a limbo about how to approach this.I am a secondary school teacher and am in the process of having my qualifications assessed, but I would gain a maximum of 65 points which doesn't seem great for an invite to apply for a visa at the moment. Thank you very muchAlex

Hi all, I have gathered together my documents for the AITSL assessment for migration for secondary school teacher. One requirement of this is at least 45 days supervised teaching practice with students across the 13 - 18 years aged range in a secondary school setting. I have the required letter from my university awarding my qualification, but within this it states complete a I completed a minimum of 180 hrs of supervised school practise... teaching pupils from ages 11-16 years. Would this suffice as the AITSL assessment specifies students across the 13-18 age range? Thanks for any help or hints on this. Alex
