Mabuhay!
I am optometrist in the Philippines and is contemplating on living in Australia.
In connection with this, i would like to ask for advice re: how to practice optometry in Australia.
In the information i got thru the internet, an overseas trained optometrist must pass the optometry exam in australia. am i understanding it right?
if one decides not to take the exam, can i enter a different route? like ophthalmic tech or assistant?
or any other suggestions?
any advice would be most welcomed

thank you very much 🙂
