Salamat po sa mga reply nio. Try ko po yun mga sinabi nio. BM po namin nov this year . God bless po sa lahat

@bluebubble Nov pa pala BM nyo. sana by that time waived pa rin yung residence requirement for jobseeker payment. yung newborn supplement makukuha nyo after mo manganak. yung FTB may residence requirement na rin for new PRs. all the best!

What do you mean by residence requirement? or what kind of requirements? thanks.

Salamat po sa sasagot.

Hi good day!

Sino po dito ang nag BM sa Au na pregnant ? Dahil wala po tayong work at di tayo makakaapppky ng work ano po ang support from the goverment na pede makuha? May nabasa po ako parenting payment applicable po ba ito sa newly PR na kakadating lang.

Salamat

Di ako sure if meron. When I got here, 3yrs ago ata. I asked kung eligible ako sa new starter. Job seeker daw is available lang if 2yrs ka na nandito. Yun sinabi sa akin sa centrelink

Dahil Covid ngayon, inalis nila yun requirement na dapat 2yrs ka na andito. Try mo mag apply ng job seeker. Tapos may new born payment ka pa na makukuha. Tapos apply ka na rin ng ftb. Malaking tulong.

lahat to sa centrelink diba? ano pala yung ftb?

FTB is assistance sa pag raise ng anak/mga anak Naka depende sa income pala yun kung magkano ang computation

Family Tax Benefit ata. Pero may max salary eh. if naabot niyo yun, per household kasi, di na kayo eligible diyan. Pag both working, medyo malabo na makakuha niyan

Required na RT-PCR test for international travelers from PH to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, South Korea and HK. Not required for HK transit passengers. Not sure lang sa ibang destinations.

HI @doobeedoodoo medyo interested ako sa recruiter mo. Pede pa PM Details nya so we can ask ano available job postings they handle aside sa IT. THANKS!

Hi guys,

Here's ours:

• Nung nasa Pinas palang ako, sinubukan ko nang mag-apply apply online. Mahirap kasi parang automatic na nafi-filter out pag wala ka pang Australian address and phone number.
• Pero, nag reach out na ako to recruiters online.
• Nung nag BM kami around 3 weeks ago, I got in touch with the recruiters and updated them with my Australian address and phone numbers. Sunod sunod narin yung tawag from them.
• Sabi nila, yung job market, very tough nung around March, April, May. Pero it should pick up from now on moving forward, lalo na nag start na ang new financial year. So don't let your hopes down.
• Paglapag namin dito sa Australia, inasikaso agad namin yung Centrelink namin. So nakatanggap kami ni misis ng JobSeeker payment. That's around $1,000 ($500 JobSeeker, $500 COVID ayuda) each per fortnight. Malaking tulong rin.
• Ang original plan, yung $500 na ayuda fortnightly for COVID, hanggang September 2020 raw. Pero it might change. Di natin alam. Sana ma extend pa.
• Luckily for me, nakahanap na ako ng trabaho last week. I'm in the IT industry. Ang tumulong sakin, yung recruiter na kausap ko nung nasa Pinas palang ako.

Pag may tanong kayo, just reach out. I'd be glad to help. Thanks.

May residence requirement dati, pre-covid. Nag waive sya ngayon. May mga bagong dating dito nakakuha sila agad nun. Apply na kayo kahit nasa hotel pa kau

Hello Guys,

It's our 3rd day here in Sydney, so we have 11 days to go until we can check-out. Starting to get a little bit bored here, but I can't complain hehehe. We have also done our swab test yesterday - it wasn't a great feeling.

Atm, I just finished applying for TFN, Centrelink and created my MyGov Account - So, I'm left with Medicare.
Is there anything else that I need to be aware of or do?

Would anyone here be kind enough to mention the things or services we can avail in Centrelink?
Btw, my wife is still employed in Emirates, and she's on maternity leave that's why she's here with me.
So with that in mind, can I still avail of the allowances provided by Centrelink?

Thank you very much!

get a kogan sim delivered in your hotel, for 135$ you can get unlimited call and sms for one year and one year 80GB to consume, much cheaper to other providers...

anyway kogan is using vodafone network... and vodafone merged with tpg kaya mas malakas na....

May mag BM ba dito sa September? Hehe. Musta po ang preparation?

Yun 2 weeks na quarantine may wifi po ba sa hotel. May narinig po kasi ako na wala yata yung iba.

extremestyleman

As experienced sa hotel namin last time may wifi naman pero pag nag sabay sabay na ang gamit very slow na ang speed. Mas ok pag umaga ka mag internet between 5-8 am para tulog pa ibang mga tao. Gumamit na lang kami ng phone data pag urgent na talaga and need ng high speed internet.

tmasuncion

Okay naman yung internet dito sa Sheraton. cguro dahil mas konti nalang yung dumadating as compared to before July.

Kasi kami nun April, nag apply kami FTB.. hindi na kami nagapply ng jobseeker. Kasi may work na ako. Sabi kasi asset tested kaya di ko na pina apply si hubby. Buti after a month, nakakuha na rin ng work si hubby. Since dalawa kayong walang work pa, apply nalang kau ng job seeker. Tapos pag anjan na si baby, apply rin kayo ng FTB.

Hi Ozlaz, Salamat po.

kmi ng partner ko applied last april. Yun partner ko nkareceive na cia agd ng letter last may yun medicare number and expiry (5yrs) while ako ndi ako nareceive ng letter then tumawag ako sa medicare binigay skin un medicare no. and expiry 6months lng skin tpos inexplain skin na dhil covid and online application ndi cla mkapagverify ng identity and if pde ka sa medicare kya lhat ng ngaapply ng medicare ngaun ma aapprove dw pero 6months lng. Binanggit ko un sa partner ko kc sabay kmi ngapply pero sbi bka ngkamali lng dw, pero pgkakaiba nmin ng partner ko is tumawag sknya centrelink pra kunin un medicare no so prang nanyari centrelink mismo ang ngverify sknya kaya bilis naprocess sknya lhat.

Hi, po sa lahat. Good day. Tanong lang po sa naka BM recently, with connecting flights to other states. We are planning to BM sa Brissy, this Sept. pero limited kasi yung international flights. So we are planning to fly Cathay Pacific from Manila to Hong Kong to Brisbane (with 3 hours transit via Sydney). Anyone po naka experience neto, or transit to other states from Sydney? Allowed po ba mag transit for several hours or we need to quarantine sa Sydney muna before the onward flight? My rule din naman kasi na allowed mag transit up to 72 hours, pero Im not sure if same pag nag transit for domestic flights. Salamat po sa sasagot. :-)

Hello, nandito kami sa Brissy ngayon. We took the MNL -> HKG -> SYD route as well via Cathay. Pero ang rule, kung saang state yung first entry mo, dun ka magka-quarantine for 14 days. So quarantine at SYD. Then, tsaka ka nalang mag book ng domestic flight pa Brissy.
