Are we making a good decision in moving to Australia?

vhoythoy

You are earning 6 digits in Manila (if net then that's a lot). You can really live comfortably na sa ganitong salary. The fact that you still considering migrating to Australia means there's something missing. If i were you i will pursue the chances to migrate in Australia. The "only" way to verify whether your future decisions will be correct is if you personally experienced living in Australia.

ako, i've worked in singapore for almost 6 years. maganda ang salary. yun lang, sulit ka sa mga chinese bosses mo. haha. minsan di ko alam pinagkaiba ng sunday sa monday. trabaho, bahay, laba, luto, repeat. pero stagnant ang career ko dito. i will never be a registered surveyor. they take care of their own and their numbers are kept intentionally small. sa australia, i can go back to school, get good experience and in the foreseeable future be registered. even kahit hindi na. the salary working in australia is better than singapore, light years better than pinas. ang australian labor laws much better than singapore which is really employer-centric. another thing is safety. nasa pinas ako ngayon, nagpapahinga before the big move. mapapanuod mo sa tv. rape, carnapping, murder, hulidap, riding in tandem. susginoo! suko na ako. it pains me to say, hopeless na ang pilipinas. the middle class knows this & is migrating by the bucket loads. just my two cents.

Ako ayaw ko pa masyado isipin ang big move baka sa excitement bumagal ang oras hehe. To upgrade very important talaga. Ako din, mas excited pa nga magaral at magupgrade kesa mag work hahaha.

@vhoythoy haha ako din, investigating schools and courses I can take. Meron iba online e. para sana pagdating dun, may credentials na. Sabi nga ng kaibigan ko, very mothodical daw kasi meron na ticket, meron na temp stay, at may mga plano na hehe.

Tsaka yang mga crime na yan. If you stay in pinas, kahit may kaya kayo, what's to say na di kayo mapahamak? Scary reading or seeing all those things that are happening.

Ako naman fatalist kung oras mo na, oras mo na talaga. Parang dati years ago, sumabog ung glorietta 2, araw araw kami nadaan dun pauwi ng bahay. Also same day muntik na kami kumain ng officemate ko sa luk yuen malapit dun hehe buti nlang nagyaya sa iba nalang. Pagbalik namin sa office, booom! hehehe. Kahit natutulog ka sa haus kapag binangungot ka ehehhe. Though mas risky talaga sa pinas.

Yup enquire na din ako sa mga schools, yung mura lang hehehe. Aral and work hopefully at same time

@vhoythoy , @bookworm nagbabalak kayo mag-aral? i rec Melbourne Uni! merong government support pag permanent resident ka, so only around 1/3 ang bayad mo sa Masters.

dhey_almighty

@bevelled hello...paano po ung government support sa schooling? saan at paano magapply dun?! :-)

bookworm

@bevelled Canberra ako e. Canberra Institute of Technology is already subsidized by the government kaya di mahal ang courses 🙂

Teka, wag natin i hijack ang thread 🙂

Paano avail yan gov't support and ano requirements? Pwede ba yan kung units lang kunin=)

Ok na si TS, always think positive. Wala naman talaga absolute answer sa questions ni TS. Subjective yan, sya lang makakasagot nyan. Depende sa tao, priorities and happiness. Kailangan nya lang ng moral support. Worth mag Australia go na !!! =)

@bronapple, for me i think you only compare salary - one aspect of shall i call 'good life'. Needless to say, there are many aspects to consider:

education - primary & secondary public schools in oz are of 'quality' education. You only have to indulge educ expenses by the time ur kids reaches college. In Phils, you have to allocate educ expenses from ur savings.
healthcare -Oz has the higest level of healthcare system. In Phils., walang pakialam ang gobyerno sayo, to me very minimal lng kasi ang maitulong ng philhealth. At ito ang kakain ng malaki sa savings mu in the long run, healthcare of ur family, kids.
retirement-u gain more if u retire in Phils assuming oz citizen ka. Considering the value of ur money. U can still avail medicare in oz at elderly age. In Phils., SSS can't sustain ur needs esp. oldies are at high risk of health issues as we all know.
future security-your kid's future are secured overall. In Phils., alam na natin yan.
the place, gov't, environment, living safely (crime rates low), etc2. Oz has the edge over Phils.

In summary, upon thorough comparison research, moving to oz will surely not disappoint you.

These are the reasons why we have d

decided to move. Sorry, na send accidentally. haha

@paupau29 wow.. 20pts sa IELTS..mapabilis yung invite mo nyan..sunod2x na yan.

Anyway, bottom line is the only risk you will be taking is coming here na walang trabaho. After makakuha ng decent job, everything will fall into place.

@TheDreamer those are the reasons why we want to move in australia..better life. Thank you for the insights 🙂>-

@dhey_almighty Willing po isacrifice ni hubby kung ano meron sya ngyn in terms of his career para sa mga kids namin.nakakasawa na marinig sa balita mga corruption at bulok na sistema ng gobyerno dito sa pinas.maginhawa nga kami pero pglabas mo nman ng bahay ang makikita mo e traffic, slum, mga basura, sira sirang kalsada.siguro kpag naprogram mo na isip mo na pupunta ka na ng ibang bansa like Oz lahat ng kapangitan ng pilipinas makikita mo e.Thank you po sa insights dina po mgbabago decision namin. Were going to Oz ;😉

bronapple143

@acrossborder We love the mixed culture in Australia and nasa Oz din mga friends/colleagues ni hubby from his previous company whos willing to help and accomodate us. Ang dami na nila dyan sa Oz isa isa nagsialisan dito sa pinas so that means something right? Kung may narating sila dun ibig sabihin may mararating din kami kung mgsisikap.

bronapple143

@lock_code2004 sabi kc ng nakausap namin na migration agent in order to be granted an Australian Citizenship dapat 4years ka nsa Oz tama ba? E 5yrs lang ang PR so pg ngpunta kami jan wala na uwian ng pinas bahala na si batman hehe at si Lord syempre. Im not sure but I have this instinct that we will survive in Oz mkakakuha ng work si hubby and we will have a better life. Is that really an instinct or faith?

acrossborder

@vhoythoy salamat sir. nakita ko na. mahaba haba nga na thread pero very informative.

acrossborder

@bronapple143 salamat din po sa reply. i know little sa Australia kasi. 1st country na naexperience ko kasi yung Canada which I have an idea how to live at the moment. nacurious lang ako how is it compared to Australia na I know good country din to migrate. based sa mga nabasa ko mas nagkaron po ako ng idea how is it to live sa Australia.

1st choice ko Canada pero starting to consider Australia. Nasa Business Intelligence/Data Warehousing ang job ko at dami opportunity sa Canada and I think ganun din sa Australia.

With regards to Pinas, I agree po dun sa mga di maganda especially kapag naexperience mo yung buhay sa ibang bansa pero meron parin talaga na masaya sa Pinas despite the problems here.
