Filipinos in Adelaide - pasok

bambina

gud day to all...my family is planning to relocate in adelaide,dahil based on our internet research,one of the liveable cities to live & work(housing etc)..wala kaming kamag-anak or friends in adelaide/australia and most of out info are from internet sources/data lang...

1) what are the nice nice suburbs in adelaide ?---esp with small kids at school (12 yo,9 yo and 2 yo)

2) where's a good store to shop for affordable furnitures & appliances?

3) what's the best site to go online when looking for a place to rent (3 bdroom house)?is it as good as going to agents?

4)how much is the modest weekly living cost in adelaide for a young family with 3 kids?

thank you

Hi Bambina just to answer your questions

Eastern suburbs such as Newton is a good place. This is where I used to rent but because my work is in South West, I'm now living in the west side. Public transport in Eastern suburbs is very nice. I'm impress with the normal bus that goes to a railway looks like transformer lol. 15-20 mins to CBD via Paradise Interchange.
Kmart has the cheapest appliances, hands down 🙂
realestate.com.au but if you're a new migrant it would be tough to get a place using this site because of the 100 security points requirement. I've attached a sample application form explaining how you will meet the 100 points. <a href="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a9/ronald3_16/rent.jpg">http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a9/ronald3_16/rent.jpg</a> Adelaide gumtree is your other option.
Based on my experience last two months ago when I was looking for a three bedroom house. The cheapest that I saw is around $270/week (unfurnished), others are around $300 up.
Dodo unlimited internet = $59/month including phone line rental. Super fast download! TFC is $50 I guess that's what my brother told me. I just used my computer to watch live channel 2 or 7 or if I want a bigger screen I can just connect my laptop to an LCD.

I hope this has been informative for you. Welcome to SA.

Cheers 🙂

@emjdee

Vodafone $59 iPhone plan gamit ko then may load na $500 + 1GB.

$0.53/minute calls to Philippines.

Most people that I know used Vodafone that's why I've chosen it.

@JanChloe & donking

Welcome to Adelaide. It's hard to find a job offshore, mostly they will entertain when your here but there's no harm on trying since others can even get employer sponsorship visa.

18 months to go for my two years bond in SA.

kaka join ko lan po sa forum. adelaide bound din po ako with my family towards the end of next month. 475 visa ko po.

ICT professinal po ako more on systems analyst for banking. tanong ko lang kun ano po ba maganda strategy in getting started in looking for a job? should i start ending some cvs na ba kahit la pa ako diyan ? or pano po ba diskarte kun sakali mag send na ko resumes kasi baka di rin pansinin eh.

baka may idea lang kayo lalo na sa ICT din or actually kahit ano It related jobs or any jobs para maka start lang 🙂

thanks

tigermj

Tapos AU address/contact number ang ilagay mo. Ung mga nakuha ko kahapon, mga auto-response emails ang nakuha ko 😃

hi tiger and emjdee: Next year pa lipad namin to SA, nagsasara pa ng mga accounts and bonds. Kita kits na lang dun kasi solid naman yata ang Fil community.

@SOHC: Hi sir thanks po sa welcome. Kumusta naman po ba ngayon in Adelaide? Bitter cold na ba?
