@Noodles12 may style daw sa pagkuha ng passport. Pwede walk-in. Dalawa daw kasi ang door dyan. Yung mga pwedeng walang appointment or either may kasamang bata or senior citizen. Kasi may kaibigan na waang appointment, ginawa nya sinama nya pamangkin nya kumuha ng passport kasi nagmamadali rin yung kaibigan ko mag abroad at hindi makahanap ng appointment. Kahit yung pamangkin nya hindi naman gagamitin pa passport eh ginamit nya lang alibi hehhe. Or baka if parents mo senior citizen na pwede mo hilain na kukuha or magrerenew ng passport. Yun daw ang diskarte. Kaya ayun nakapag renew sya as walk-in lang walang appointment. Iba kasi daw pinipilahan ng mga appointment compared sa walk-in.

@OZingwithOZomeness ah... sa priority lane po yun yung mga senior citizen, minor, PWD, single parent, government employee, hindi ko na alam yung mga iba, kasama na rin yung may mga recommendation ng mayor, councilor, governor... not sure lang kung yung chaperon bibinigyan din ng priority or yung qualified lang na applicant... buti naman nakakuha ng passport yung kaibigan mo na sinama yung pamangkin nya... pahirapan kasi talaga pag walang connection....

OZingwithOZomeness

@dorbsdee oo ayun priority lane. naikwento nya lang kasi sa akin kasi nabangit ko pahirapan appointment sa pinas sa passport, ayun nasabi nya yung diskarte nya. Naka pag process naman sya at pinakita pa sa akin yung bago nyang passport. haha Wala din sya connection, nag walk-in lang talaga siya. 🙂

Beginning a Life in Australia

Based on the advice in the booklet (Beginning a Life in Australia), the following are the four priorities, in no particular order, that you attend to immediately as part of your settlement in Australia.

1) Register with Medicare

2) Register with Centrelink

3) Apply for a tax file number

4) Open a bank account

For a much detailed guide (contact numbers etc), click link below.

@vincechaos thank u sa tips na to sir. Eto ba ung dinidiscuss sa pdos po?

Makiki comment din po ako sa priority lane ng DFA. I asked dito sa amin kung yung may ksamang bata na below 7 yrs old kung ilang family members ang allowed na kasama sa renewal, they said na the entire immediate family can be accommodated. Hopefully same rule din anywhere. :-)

Off topic: I'm selling 3 Opal Cards for those migrating to or visiting Sydney. My family and I used these cards when we were on vacation last 2016. Each card has a remaining load of AUD 35 or around 1400 PHP. I'm selling it at Php 1000 each free shipping within Metro Manila only. Let me know if you're interested.

Interesting. May ganito pala. May thread ba tayo dito about this? Are we qualified?

Edit: nevermind, I backread posts here and after 2 years pa pala pwede i-claim yung Newstart allowance hehe. We're not qualified with the other benefits na walang residency requirement (like family tax benefit or rent benefit)
