Filipino SLPs who went through the SPA process — how did you apply? 🇵🇭🇦🇺

I’m currently preparing to apply for Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) membership/assessment and would really appreciate some guidance from Filipino SLPs who have already gone through the process.

Could anyone share their experience regarding:

• 📄 Necessary documents for each phase/stage
• 📝 What to expect and prepare for in each phase
• ⏳ How long each stage usually takes
• 💼 Examples of employment evidence, practice evidence, and recent SLP work evidence that were accepted
• 🎓 What documents you requested from your university/employers/clinic
• 📋 Common issues, missing documents, or mistakes to avoid
• 💰 Any fees or additional costs I should anticipate
• 🇦🇺 What comes after SPA approval and what the next steps are for working in Australia

For context, I’m a Filipino SLP currently practicing in the Philippines and have been working as an SLP for several years. I’m also currently preparing my documents and taking the IELTS soon.

If you’re a Filipino SLP who has already completed SPA Phase 1 or the full SPA process, I’d really appreciate any tips, a checklist, or even a breakdown of what you did at each stage.

Thank you so much! 🙏
