Anyone interested in a big move guide? Specifically for PR, NSW at solo migrants flying from PH ito. Doing my research now and regularly checking this forum for insights/info, so naisip kong i-compile in a document since na-overwhelm ako sa dami nang need isipin, haha. Still a work in progress but sharing in case it helps anyone else: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18jQIdQkr1Rsq_qRxmexUqQwGdJ53Sax8iFKUfbi6fBE/view

Covers pre-departure to getting settled to managing your visa (as an anxious person na solo flight sa migration lol). Note, lahat ng info dito ay checked as of May 2023 and will continue to update it until it's my turn to make the move. Kumuha rin ako ng mga anecdotes galing sa forum, added sources sa mga naaalala ko para may reference. Hindi 'to replacement for official links/information, these are just based on my own research — so if in doubt, double-check/ask pa rin as this doesn't have all the answers 🙂

Destination address, can put the state you're going to or even just Australia (that's what I did). Contact number, whatever number you have.

Hello po question po regarding sa rental in australia. Mas okay po ba irent yung mga places na fully furnished na or mas okay yung wala po muna furnitures. Naisip ko lang po kasi since mag sstart pa lang po kami, wala po kami appliances.

Yes may minimal fee din. Dito sa Adelaide nasa 500 aud ung sa primary school ng anak ko. The fee includes writing materials and other stuff na gagamitin nila sa school. Tapos bring your own device sila, so bumili kami ng ipad and keyboard. You also need to shoulder the uniform, bags, etc which can be bought sa kanilang designated school provider. Kapag private kasi sa mga napagtanungan namin around 10K aud above ang tuition.

Hi, since October kayo dumating, did your kid join the January school year? Or okay lang ba kahit midyear pumasok ang kids?

Actually ung bunso namin, incoming year 4 or grade 4 sya dito sa au. Nagtanong kami sa primary school within our catchment area. Tinanggap naman sya dun sa school after some interviews para ma quantify kung marunong ba ung bata mag english. Tpos nung nakapasa, pinag start na agad syang pumasok sa term 4 ng grade 3 (that was Nov) para lang makilala nya ung mgiging mga kaklase nya sa grade/year 4. Free of charge na din kasi daw mababait din ung principal and staff.

Yung panganay ko naman, dapat grade 6 sya, pero since moving up to high school na at wala na halos academic na ginagawa sa year 6, kaya inadvise na lang na hindi pumasok since ma out of place lang sya. So nangyare sa panganay ko, from grade 5 sa pinas year 7 (1st year) na sya pagpasok nya ng januray 2024. By catchment area dn ang basis ng student intake nila. So isa dn yan sa icoconsider byo pag naghanap kayo ng house. Ung mga nearby school.

Kung corded at walang battery, alam ko pwede. Though yun lang, need mo bumili ng adaptor.

Pwede lahat yan basta nasa checkin baggage. Nagdala ako nyan a few times lalo iron steamer.

Ang strict sila ay mga wooden products/grains/bigas/halaman/lupa. Kelangan mo ideclare yan sa incoming passenger card. Mahigpit sila about that. Pag nasniff ka ng dog, and hindi declared it will result to fine or refusal for entry. Bawal din left over food from plane. This is per my last travel dec2023.

to elaborate:

I brought some matcha powder with me for personal consumption na wala sa original sealed pouch. Nagtakal ako ganon haha.

Nawala sa isip ko, kasi parang usual food ko lang na pinapack pag bibyahe eh. Hindi ko dineclare.

Pumila na ako sa lane ng 'nothing to declare' until the gatekeeper asked kung meron ba akong epektus na dapat ideclare. Doon ko nakita yung posters nila ng restricted items. Ayun naalala ko bigla yung matcha jusko. Sinabi ko nalang din I forgot to declare. Medyo natagalan sakin kasi nagtanong pa ilang grams and para saan, saan ko nabili. Tapos tinatakan yung IP card ko ng pula. Hindi ko naintindihan yung tatak. Sharing lang. Hassle kasi yung kaba ko nun, buti hindi ako nafine.

lukey
