    @inhinyero_sg thanks you too. You know what? There are lots of colleagues here from SG too, here in our suburb in WA. In fact, our neighbor architect and church mate here is a SG citizen and he did mentioned to me that his son will come back to SG as he reach 18 years old for sort of obligatory country service in military (SG requirement as a citizen). :)

    @Makaryo these are my answers:

    1. Class begins from 8:45 AM until 11:45 AM for kindies (4 years old toddler). For my Years 5 & 6 primary son and daughter aged 10 & 9 years old, same time except later dismissal time around 2:45 PM.

    2. If you're on Visa 189 or 190, your school tuition fee/s shall be free except if you're on Visa 457 (working visa). Around 800+ aud annually if you will shoulder the fees, if you're not entitled as permanent residents.

    @Makaryo sa una ok lang hindi mag work si misis and focus on kids. Later na lang mag work si misis pag manageable na time and independent na kids sa school. Nagagamit lang naman ang combined income kapag nagloloan na kayo ng mortgage home nyo kasi mabilis approval pag dalawa na kayo working. Plus, see the bracket ng receivables sa CENTRELINK, better pa na walang work si misis.

    @Megger

    1.) ALL PR's are entitled to avail CENTRELINK benefits + MEDICARE & Free School for kids. Non-PR visa holders cannot.
    2.) Cash receivables from CENTRELINK are based on number of children, job status
    3.) It could be availed by submitting documents required by satellite offices near you upon your first entry to Australia.
    4.) CENTRELINK has a ceiling limit once you had reached it say for example your regular job is more than the income bracket (they shall inform this info when you apply). Gradually, as your work increase in base value, centrelink receivables on a fortnight basis shall also be inversely decrease until it ceases. Of course logic is you now pay tax so therefore making the government support you less as you prosper. To give you a baseline, I have 4 children aged 12, 10, 9 & 4. I have an estimate of 1,500 AUD per fortnight (every 2 weeks). Good enough to cover our weekly rent (300 AUD/wk), sustain my car's petrol (40 AUD/2 wks used daily) and grocery + utility bills (internet, water & electricity). Of course, entertainment expense comes in option if you got plenty of money to spend like going to movies, beach, etc. Make your wife happy and stress free and your life shall be good here in Australia. ;;)
