eto 1.5 years na at doing awesome..... ienjoy mo muna ang surrounding mo habang naghahanap ka work kasi pag nagkaron ka na hahanap hanapin mo yan. :-D.

Welcome to Oz. Ang newstart allowance 2 years waiting year period. weird pero ganon talaga.

</blockquote>

how much din newstart allowance? hehe. ito na naisip natin agad. siyempre 😉</blockquote>

Newstart Allowance is income tested; kung eligible lang sana when you arrive in Australia, this would be a very good help sana.

HOWEVER, fast forward after being here for 2 years... I doubt if you will really want to receive Newstart Allowance as this would only mean na wala ka work or super low yung pay mo. 🙂</blockquote>

@dhey_almighty & @donking, ito po. Mayroon clear explanation oh...

<blockquote rel="dhey_almighty">is it true?! may gadget for rent sa Oz?! like laptops? :-)</blockquote>

<blockquote rel="021607"><blockquote rel="ptcsonic">kasi may nakapagsabi po na meron na agad para sa child care pero may 2 years waiting period para sa adult unemployed po yata, confirm ko lng po sa may mga kids sa OZ?

</blockquote>

Hi, not too sure about the 2-year waiting period. But Family Tax Benefit, Child Care Assitance, Rent Assistance are readily available upon arrival. These are family claims. For singles, wala pa akong naririnig na claims where a 2-year waiting time is required. 🙂</blockquote>

I have a question. Pwede din sana sumagot mga online advisers natin dyan @lock_code2004 @LokiJr @TasBurrFoot (HAHAHA) If palarin makakuha ng visa (489), I will be bringing my 2 YO daughter who is an Australian Citizen (by descent) but never set foot to OZ. Hindi siya ma e-entitle sa Centrelink and other benefits? Hindi ako PR visa, but Australian Citizen sya.

She was also born in 2012, at the time when 5k AUD pa ang baby bonus. Makakakuha parin ba ako nito for her?

I am married to a Filipino but my daughter's dad is Australian. Kaya ganyan. Whirlwind romance kase. Hehehe. Salamat sa lahat ng sasagot 🙂

simple, just like renting out a car albeit on a longer time period...

but why would you be interested in this? last time I check, the cost of renting a fridge is like paying for the item to be fully depreciated in 1.5 yrs... 🙂

Baby bonus is over already I believe...

Kuha ka nalang ng sustento sa tatay; bigger over a course of a few years... 🙂

Ma pride chicken kasi ako @TasBurrFoot, hindi ako hihingi ng sustento, alam ni @lock_code2004 yan HAHA

I have read na nagbibigay padin sila ng baby bonus for those who were born prior to the new policies. Hindi ko lang din sure kung entitled parin siya, weird kasi ang case namin ng daughter ko.

How about yung other benefits sa Centrelink and Medicare? Magiging entitled kaya sya? Thank you!

lock_code2004

@islaman di kita kilala... kaya wag mo akong idamay sa usapang ito.. lol...

i think since AU citizen nmn si baby, covered sya ng mga existing benefits.. ang PR nga meron kahit papaano eh.. ang citizen pa kaya..

@lock_code2004, etc...

Question: The job i'm supposed to have hasn't found me yet. 😃 i thought, need ko lang i-file sa ATO is non-lodgment advice. Pero the other day, centrelink called and asked for the salary, redundancy payment i received since july 2013. Sinabi ko naman na Jan 2014 na ako dumating ng Aust, pero kahit na daw. Does it mean, na yung centrelink benefits namin ay maapektuhan dahil sa salary that i used to get? Coz that's what the girl at the other line was implying. Anyway, i still need to get back to them next week.

<blockquote rel="rooroo">Nag apply ako newstart allowance at tinwagan ako before na subject daw sa residency period un na 2 years same with concession. Ung family tax benefit wala pa dn result samin, 35 working days processing. July 4 pa ako nagpasa. Kaso may work na ako at makita din savings ko, baka d dn me makaclaim kasi nibabase dn pla nila sa savings mo un. Kung may enough pera ka pa daw d ka dn bbgyan 🙂)</blockquote>

So, dapat ubos muna ang savings mo? Ang unfair naman.

@dhey_almighty @ruelcortez_BH

So online po lahat - TFN, Medicare, Centrelink (pero kailangan in this order). Tama po ba pagkakaintindi ko?

Salamat.

i don't think online ang medicare..

dhey_almighty

@belovedanton ung medicare need mo pumunta sa pinakamalapit na center sa lugar mo...then ung TFN, pwede online na lang un tapos padadalhan ka ng sulat ng TFN stating ur TFN Number (mga 2 weeks or less un)

**pero kung magka work ka na agad, you can call TFN para sa TFN No. mo...

then pag meron ka na medicare, iaadvise ka ng medicare na gumawa ng mygov account para andun lahat ang mga government portals, like medicare and centrelink...at honga pala, magbibigay rin ang medicare sayo ng linking code para ilink mo ung medicare mo sa mygov account mo...then from there, pwede ka na mag-register sa centrelink online...pati na rin ung TFN mo... :-)

IslanderndCity

@dhey_almighty so @belovedanton is correct that medicare first before centrelink? but TFN is not dependent to neither?

dhey_almighty

OT: pwede ka bang magapply ng superannuation kahit wala ka pa work?! :-)

Milkan

@dhey_almighty

brod, hindi.

company ang nag co contribute ng superannuation para sa yo. sa ngayon nasa 9.25% ng salaray mo (before tax) ang contribution nila sa mga superannuation companies.

dhey_almighty

@Milkan salamat bro..hehe...feeling lang ako na may work na...haha
