Estimate lng po ng expenses para ma-estimate needed baon.Mas OK if you can bring money that's good for 3 months.
House rent - 3 rooms $300-400, if room lang $150-300 (usually all utility bills included sa room rent) as u get closer to city magiging mas mahal
Car - $1500 lowest nasa 200km n yan
Internet - $40-60/ mon
Water - $30 / mon
Elec - $70-100 / mon
Gas/LPG - $100/ mon

Sim card as low as $10 meron pag sale
Gas/ Diesel - almost same sa pinas
Bus fare adult $6 kids half - check mymyki site
Grocery $100 (3 persons) per week depending sa size ng fam.
ATM withdrawal of $500 - ANZ from BPI acct $3 charge, lowest we know kasi $5 sa Commbank.
Papalit din kau ng Peso to Aud if mas makakamura kau.
Yung paunang expenses - bibili kau ng quilt/ or wool quilt for winter, quilt cover para hindi n lalabahan ang quilt, pillows, matress, kitchen wares, appliances - fridge, TV, and washing machine, small fan heater for toilet - are basics, sofa, dining.... Pero...! Maraming namimigay at nagbebenta sa murang halaga, sa marketplace. So kung hindi maselan.. Babad lang FB and marami kau mapick up. Find a car n may tow bar para marami makuha, nakakaarkila nmn ng trailer as low as $10 per 3 hours..
To estimate prices, check Bigw, KMart, Coles, Woolworth, Bunnings, Harvey Norman, Goodguys, Aldi, Chemist Warehouse, Officeworks.
Gumtree, parang OLX dito yan.
If may medicare, libre and check up and vaccine ng kids.

I was lucky and thankful na naging frend ko yung isang member ng forum halos mag kasabay kame mag exam at mag apply ng visa. Mabait sila mag asawa kaya hindi ako nahirapan mag hanap ng affordable na bahay. Nasa pinas pa lang ako hinahanap na nila ako ng possible room to rent. Kaya Pag BM ko may sure accomodation na agad ako. Sinundo pa nila ako from airport to bahay na pag rerent ko literal na door to door hahaha. Inorient pa nila ko sa mga places sa vicinity ng place na pag stayan ko.
Una ko inasikaso nung andito na ko eh yung ATM card ko. Nag open na kc ako nung nag initial entry ako last 2017 kaso dun nasend sa inn na pinagstayan ko before. Nag punta lang ako branch ng bank ko then made a request to send a new atm card sa address ko ngaun. after 4 days na received ko na.
Then the next day I applied for medicare and centrelink. Akala ko before mag kaiba sila ng place yun pala dun ka na din mag apply ng medicare sa centrelink hehe.
Still waiting for my medicare card. Then about sa TFN online lang ako nag apply and received my TFN number after a week.
About naman sa expenses, budget ko for a month nasa 1000aud
Rent 160 per week kasama na yung wifi, water electricity pati gas sa pag luluto
Food for one person nasa 50 per week
Mobile data 40
Transpo 140 or less (lumalabas lng ako pag mag grocery or iba pang lakad so may sobra pa)
Bale budget kong dala good for 6 months kaya sana mag ka work na ko agad haha.
Job search naman online application lahat. Ito talaga yung malaking pag subok kc meron naman ako nakikitang job sa field ko kaso palaging rejection letter narereciv ko. Praying na ma-in din ako sa field ko or kahit anong work.
Hope makatulong yang inputs ko sa mga malapit na mag BM. Good luck saten lahat.. GOD BLESS!
