From the Founder's Desk

Here's my Experience in Applying for the Working Holiday Maker Visa to Australia subclass 462.

Associated Costs for this specific Visa

* I already have a Valid Passport & NID Card including Birth Certificate, so I didn't include the costs here.
and I have 1st & 2nd shots of COVID-19 vaccination=
You need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to work in Australia

Police Clearance : K60-K65
IELTS Test at IBS Campus at Badili: K1,500
(You register & pay online around AUD $450 dollars
Health Test for Visa at PIH Waigani Central: K1,320
(Because at the time when I did my Health Test; the XRay machine at Aspen Medical in POM was down)
Biometrics Current Cost: K113.25 No longer K100
(You Register & Pay online at VFS Global, then take your online receipt, and go to the Australian Biometrics Center at the Town square building at Waigani and get your fingerprints there including a photo of your shoulders and face.
Work And Holiday Visa Subclass 462: AUD $650 = K2,500

My Savings: I provided Bank Statements showing K100,000
And NOT K15,000 as Most people are saying.
According to Australia: you need the equivalent of at least K100,000- K200,000 to live in Australia for 12 Months.

What I found out:
You definitely Need a Bachelor's/Doctorate/Masters
Or at least you Must have completed 2 Years of University level Study in PNG at UPNG/PAU/at least UOT.
And NOT a Diploma Qualifications,
**definitely not an Australian 2 Year Diploma completed in Australia with work placement

If you are a citizen of PNG who has completed 2 Years of University level Qualifications in Australia at an Australian University, Definitely a Degree at least - I believe you can still meet the Education requirements of this specific Visa.

Parents,

How do you know if the ACE PACEs in the Year 2027 are becoming more expensive or less expensive?

It's easy.
We all know where the ACE PACES come from.
If you don't know: Do your Homework as they say.

1.Monitor the interest rate in Australia.
2. Monitor the exchange rate.

If it increases: The prices go up.
If it remains the same: You pay the same amount.

The School Fees Cover these costs.

If you have time, you can save on School Fees and place your own orders, then teach your own children at home.

FROM THE FOUNDER'S DESK

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

A lot of Parents are asking How Much Does an ACE PACE cost? And You have the right to Ask and find out and Know.

Next Year: It may change.
Because: of the RBA Reserve Bank of Australia when they have to increase the interest rate due to inflation.

Which means: You spend more money to buy ACE PACES

So Mipla Tok Stret
This was taken from their Website

An ACE PACE (Book) currently costs AUD $8.64
Eight Australian Dollars and 64 cents
Not in PNG Kina

You get that Amount $8.64: Then times it by how many PACE Books are in a Grade
If: You are placing an order or buying All the PACE Books in a Grade

If you don't know how to Score/mark/correct/ or Grade the ACE PACES: You need to order or buy the Score Keys as well

Score Keys are Answer Sheets.
They are only for Teachers and Parents

The ACE PACE Score Keys = each Score Key costs the same amount as the ACE PACE (school Workbook)

TOTAL AMOUNT + Tax + Weight = Pay for them All

When they arrive in PNG: You pay Customs Clearance at the Airport to get your PACE Boxes

Very Expensive
Don't complain
Instead: Count the Cost
