BIG MOVE

marav0318

Hi All Big Move na namin this May 2026. Nakahanap na din kme ng house while offshore as well as job ni Hubby. WFH kme 2x a week and onsite nmn 3x a week. Meron lang ako questions ulit kasi ung iniisip ko na ngayon ay ung kids setup.

For those na may below 4 years old or kinder na anak, pinasok nio ba sila sa long daycare (child care na may integrated kinder) ? If so paano naging setup nio sa pagsundo at hatid?
Kmusta experience and adjustment sa first 1-2 months specially if both of you are working na?
For the immunisation history from AIR, nakakuha ba kagad kayo?

Thank you

Saang state kayo? Alam ko every state magkaiba ng methods e. Kami sa Perth, ung anak namin nasa kinder na. 2-3 days every week, 8:30AM to 3PM ang pasok. Sa days na may pasok siya, pinapasok namin siya sa before and after school care. Sa days na wala, sa daycare siya. Lahat yan may subsidy from gov't via centerlink. So I suggest asikasuhin niyo rin pagdating nio dto.

Kmusta experience and adjustment sa first 1-2 months specially if both of you are working na?

can't comment on this much kasi pagdating namin, ako pa lang ang nagwork and si misis ang nag asikaso kay toddler.

For the immunisation history from AIR, nakakuha ba kagad kayo?

better to get an immunization history from your pedia sa Philippines and better if malagay din mga batch codes nung vaccines. Then you would have to see a GP once nasa Australia na. I-refer niya kayo to the main immunisation clinic (that is our case here in Perth). Sila ung mag-convert ng mga nakuha niyang vaccines to AIR and if may need pa siyang vaccines based on Aus standards. Lahat naman yan libre basta under ng medicare. Note that the public school required us to submit an updated AIR before our son was admitted. Not sure if sa ibang states ganyan din ang regulation.

Hi, Finally na received na namin ang grant kahapon lang. Planning for big move late this year. Sa mga nag big move na po from outside PH, meron ba kayo ginamit na moving service or storage services na pwede padalhan ng mga gamit maybe 1 month advance?? Thanks po sa makakatulong!

JoeJoe

Good Day! Na receive namin yun grant namin for 189 this month. Sa mga nag big move jan, meron na ba kayong work before the big move? plan namin kasi mag pa activate lang ng PR late this year and babalik din sa offshore after a few weeks.

Pwede na ba kami mag open ng bank accounts, medicare registration and TFN?

whimpee

JoeJoe yes sa bank account and TFN (pero kailangan may mailing address kayo na padadalhan ng letter galing sa ATO). For Medicare, kailangan offshore kayo habang pinoprocess nila. Otherwise, possible na ireject nila.

casssie

JoeJoe pwede na kayo mag open as soon as you arrive. stay a few weeks for verification purposes and until macomplete yung application. kaya nyo i-apply lahat yan ng isang araw.

yung sa medicare po ba offshore or onshore?

whimpee

JoeJoe sorry yes I meant onshore

JoeJoe

question po ulit, yung mga investment niyo ba outside AU binenta niyo lahat bago mag permanent move? Like mga paper assets(shares, stocks, ILP, VUL, MF, reits)?

casssie

JoeJoe lahat dinispose ko na.

As soon as ma grant visa - we went for a 3 day trip just to feel the vibe of the city. 4 months after, nag big move ako alone. I rented a room share with pinoys. (This is to be mobile in case di swak yung lugar and also to gain network - madami kakilala yung mga nakatira sa house).
Yes. From august na visa grant, we set a hard line for me to move Jan 6 ata. We booked the tickets.
Ako nauna, and after 18 months, di pa din permanent family ko here. Hopefullly magkakasama na kami by December. so far puros holidays. ang gastos hehe.

Sa mga architectural draftsperson po na nag big move na sa australia, can you share tips how to land a job?

We recently moved here in victoria last april, and until now, husband cannot find a job. I am currently pregnant with a twin so my OB advised me not to work muna. So sya lang talaga ang source of income.

Is it related to the season? Like because it is nearly end of financial year kaya mahirap maghanap ng work? Any tips will be a great help po. Nakakastress na kasi good for 6 mons lang baon namin na budget, although he is now doing part time cleaner, but still not enough, and i guess he should find a full time job soon.

If you can share any tips or any leads ng hiring it is highly appreciated. The job market is tough for our field 😔

Tidy up the CV.
If you are going into drafting - onow your target customer. Check mo sa JD anong software dapat alam mo. AU is different from ph or sg.
Upskill. Dapat alam mo sagot sa mga softwares or nagamit mo na or alam mo.
Prepare for ALL the questions na pwede i tanong. 50/50 ka with head hunters pero nothing to lose. Get ready. 3mins chat yun, pero that will bring you to the next round or push you to the client.

Hi,

Ano yung mga realisations nyo after your BM?

1) Life goes on ,let them
-settlement is a journey , moment, phase ,stages
you can own it , everyone has their own time and space,let them

2) Live with gratefulness
-to the one who gets this kudos , God is gracious, it can get to where you need to be ,without loosing a piece of you ,thank you!

3) Laugh at yourself
-Love what you had become, be kind to yourself and don’t take it so seriously

\\__OzDrims__//__AU__// ang biggest realization ko is mahirap pala talaga maghanap ng work dito. Kakalipat ko lang last month, and sa dami ng inapplyan ko, wala pa kong nakukuhang work. Sa IT din ako so medyo expected ko na mahirap talaga, di ko lang inakala na GANITO kahirap 🤣

casssie

\\__OzDrims__//__AU__// ozdrims!!!! long time no see here!!!

realisations after BM? yung feeling na wala na talaga ako sa pilipinas. minsan hinahanap ko pa din yung ingay ng kalsada, yung mga nagbebenta sa tabi tabi, yung dami ng tao lalo na sa gabi, nakakamiss pala talaga. pero pag binabalikan ko kung pano ako nagstart sa migration journey, I'm reminded that I deserve to live here in AU. ganito pala ang quality life!

\\OzDrims//AU//

jinigirl enjoy mo lang ang process / stage na meron ka ngayon ,it will be worth it ! God will provide.

Conboyboy

jinigirl godbless. You can do it. Di siya madali.

I remember appling for 150, isa lang nagreply.

After 7mos biglang di na need, i have to find nanaman. It was easier kasi local experience na. Madami na return calls and chats.

Learn to polish your intro and make sure maganda sagot sa informal get to know chats. That will get your ft nearer to the door.

Minsan inis ako sa mga HHunter, parang pampadami lang tayo sa list nila hehe.

Enjoy. Hustle. Pray. You will eventually get it.

casssie

jinigirl hi jinigirl! tagal mo din nawala dito sa forum haha! isa ka sa mga user na tinutukan ko din yung journey. salamat sa mga shared experiences mo.

speaking of paghahanap ng work, 100% TUMPAK ka dyan! kung ano ano na din nga inapplyan ko eh hahaha. di na din ako choosy sa work ko now, pero if given a chance gusto ko lumipat hahaha pero ayun nga, hirap maghanap ng work. lalo na dami na nila inoffshore na roles.

jinigirl

\\__OzDrims__//__AU__// thank you! I hope it's just a phase sa Aussie journey ko na malalampasan din agad.

\\OzDrims//AU//

jinigirl kaya yan sa una tlg sobra hirap,mahirap dahil sa adjustment and uncertainty and sa sagot sa tanong na kailan kaya magkaka work, rental unit etc etc. Once the dust settles liliwanag din lahat. Pray for everything!

jinigirl

Conboyboy appreciate this! Thanks a lot!
