Please clarify the eligibility for Philippine nationals to enter Australia on a Subclass 462 Visa.
The IMMI Visa application site does not have Philippines as an allowed country and does not allow for the VISA application process to continue because of it.

Can you please clarify this for me.

Thanks.
