    @elleb1 Thanks! Bale ang pinasa namin ay rent application form (tig-isa kami ni wifey na form), passport copies, bank statements na stamped ng bank and yung visa grant. Dun sa form nilagay ko as references yung 2 na friend ko dito sa sydney.. Bale name, occupation and contact number ang required i-fill out.

    Kinausap namin yung agent and nabanggit namin na new migrants kami, very suitable for our needs yung unit and that we will take good care of the unit if approved. Sinunod lang din namin yung nabasa ko dito sa forum somewhere :) 2BR unit sya sa riverwood which is about 40 mins to CBD by train. Yung 5months advance rent ay proposal lang namin but in the end di naman nila pinabayaran..bale one month bond lang and 2 weeks advance rent and initial payment namin..:)

    @elleb1 bring lots of buffer of funds for the house rental as you never know when will your centrelink family claim shall arrive and secondly, your work is uncertain when can you be secured of a full time job. You and your spouse shall sure be better in relationship here as you shall be tested here both for thick and thin. All the best ;)

    @ms.dee_celestiel I think rent rates at Sydney is quite different here in Perth. On the other hand, do some online driving test quizzes online for you to get versed on road rules even if you didn't have your car yet. Get NSW road rules and surely you shall do good. And Yes child car restraints are part of a driver's "must" here even on senior or elder passenger seats on cars. Check on NSW Dept of Transport if Dubai's driver license could be converted directly if part of the list of countries eligible. Get a primer booklet there, it is free to grab one and review.

    @elleb1 Thanks! Bale ang pinasa namin ay rent application form (tig-isa kami ni wifey na form), passport copies, bank statements na stamped ng bank and yung visa grant. Dun sa form nilagay ko as references yung 2 na friend ko dito sa sydney.. Bale name, occupation and contact number ang required i-fill out.



    Kinausap namin yung agent and nabanggit namin na new migrants kami, very suitable for our needs yung unit and that we will take good care of the unit if approved. Sinunod lang din namin yung nabasa ko dito sa forum somewhere :) 2BR unit sya sa riverwood which is about 40 mins to CBD by train. Yung 5months advance rent ay proposal lang namin but in the end di naman nila pinabayaran..bale one month bond lang and 2 weeks advance rent and initial payment namin..:)

    @mgfg yung binigay nyo na bank statements e yung sa Au na? Maraming salamat sa info! Abangan namin updates mo sayo kami mag benchmark :) Ok na ok yung nakita nyo kc 2 bedroom na, sa online ba kayo nag check ng property o talagang nag search kayo sa area at naghanap ng mga posting?

    @engineer20 hindi sya granny flat.. isang unit sya within a 3 or 4 storey residential bldg. Im not sure kung ano tawag dun dito :)

    @elleb1 yung AU bank statements ang ipinasa namin. Pero i guess pwede din naman ang overseas bank as proof of fund. Sa domain.com at realestate.com kami naghanap. Pag nagbbrowse ka ng units nakalagay na dun yung inspection dates. You can just "show up" during the advertised dates to inspect the units. Pag di mo ito naabutan or may conflict, you can ask the agent kung kelan ang next na inspection para you can schedule accordingly. Google maps lang ginamit namin to locate the apartments :)

    @elleb1 kami we had an accumulated 9 weeks modern house unit flat rent (at 300 per week lang, sa inyo mas expensive I guess) pero ang hirap pa rin kasi no full time work pa rin puro palabas ang pera. Sa furnitures, nasa 1,300 na agad pero furnished na house rent namin pagdating. Yun ibang gamit ng bata sa school kahapon lang namin nakuha from a friend here in Perth, they included our things in their baggages lang mas practical (mas expensive pag shipped nasa 9k pesos sa atin thru philpost). Kaya, I suggest mag TESDA kayo dyan kasi very useful ang trady skills kesa profession natin dito. Kasi, it will take some time talaga in months before we could get what our profession here full time.

    @greatsoul parking fees applies in Perth CBD area only. Usually per hour rate around 6.40 AUD city limits. Meron din along street kurbs nasa 3.40 ang rate per hour. Kaya i-bubudget nyo time nyo when you have an official business like taking the kids to their doctors. Kasi iba iba rin ang rates pero mahal sa covered parkings or elevated type pero mas safe. Pero dito sa suburb namin libre mga parking kaya we had chosen here at Ellenbrook kesa sa city area. Lahat kasi don may metro, may bayad.

    Hahaha...walang toll fees dito. Go anywhere without the hassle of traffic - appplies here in Perth, check other states to be sure

    @elleb1 consider also finding a private medical cover as ambulance should be considered kasi napakamahal pala pag sinundo ka without a coverage, aabot sa 800 AUD if wala ka. Bawal kasi dito sa AU na isakay ang patient sa taxi or if private vehicle naman, 'di ka pwede i-derecho sa ward pag sa car nyo lang ikaw or kids mo nakasakay going to the hospital. Just sharing.
