Filo community is small and so far, a bit stifling, in a way that everyone almost knows everyone. So if may gusto ka iwasan most likely you will bump to them pa din. Hahaha. > 2. Ang small ng community, like not a lot of people in your same age or orientation to meet. So if you wanna date, move the fck out of regional area. If you are a family, I think you would fare fine. > 3. Getting a side hustle could be a lot easier, since kaunti ang kalaban mo sa position. But still there are only a few options available. I’m currently in the process of getting a part time job. > 4. You need to be fine driving loong distances just to buy some things na di available sa town niyo. In my case we do not have a kmart or aldi, so you either drive to the nearest one (100kms away), or get it shipped to your place (which takes 3-5 days if lucky). > > I would probably stay max 1.5 to 2 years in regional AU just because it can get boring real quick if single ka. Haha. Tutal PR ka naman ppwede kang mag move anytime you want, sa regional ka kumuha ng DL mo kasi ang alam ko mas madali makakuha pag sa regional pero xempre practice pa din. Mejo boring talaga sa regional, kain, trabaho, bahay, tulog and repeat talagang makakaipon ka kasi halos walang temptation na gumastos hahaha (online shopping is waving)

> @perthtasmania said: > Good day all. I am from Cebu Philippines and recently moved here in Perth Tasmania near to Launceston last month. I would like to ask if there is a Filipino here in Launceston and maybe we could meet up and be friends. > > Jenny Good day! While I’m not in Launceston, it’s great to see someone from Cebu here.

> @Tala024 said: > My husband intends to sponsor us through a 482 SE visa, but my 2-year-old daughter is currently in her fourth month of treatment for primary complex. Her pediatrician has informed us that she’s improving and shows no symptoms, though she needs to complete the full six-month course of medication. > > Could this impact her visa application, or is there a possibility it might delay the process? > > Personal opinion, since 482 visa is a temporary visa not covered by Medicare, possible na less strict sila with medical. Though best to complete the remaining months of medication for peace of mind din, kasi mahal ang medical costs in AU.

@Cassey trying my luck, gusto ko lang po mag seek advice. I received my LOD na suitable for immigration. Naka indicate po dun yung recent work experience ko-1 year only here in NZ then yung past experience ko in middle east naka lagay din po sa LOD hospital name at kung how long ako ngwork pero meron nakametion na "additional claims were submitted but did not meet ANMAC professional reference assessment requirements" kc po naka blocked ang server ng dati kong hospital hindi sila makareply sa ANMAC using working email ngbigay ng other proof at explanation letter ang nursing charge ko. Ask ko lang po can I claim points sa EOI dun sa middle east ko kahit ganun po ang naka indicate sa LOD ko? Thank you.
