Hello po! Ask ko lang po sana kung 491 family sponsored iaapply ng fianceé ko na nasa AU sabi po kasi sa restriction nung visa dapat hindi po siya engaged or married napapasok ng AU tama po ba? Then kung sakali sasabihin niya na single siya para makaapply ng 491 family sponsored, kailangan niya po bang taposin yung 5yrs visa niya bago pwede siya mag pakasal? Thank you po salamat!

Yes, nag-cancel muna CX ng MEL flight before kami nagpa-rebook for SYD. This is crucial para rebooking lang siya and retain ang booking number. Otherwise, pag new booking, slim to zero chance ma-waive ang quarantine fee due to the date.

Hello guys!
Natuloy ang flight namin last Aug 29 MNL-HK-SYD via Cathay Pacific. Halos puno ang airplane going to HK kasi madaming OFWs. Then from HK to SYD kaunti lang kasi 30pax lang. Ang luwag ng plane
Pagdating sa SYD, matagal makalabas airport. Hindi kami agad pinababa ng plane kasi need daw muna tapusin yung pag disembark ng naunang flight. Pagbaba meron health declaration area where they check temp and quick interview. Then saka lang pwede pass thru immigration, kunin luggages and pass thru customs. After that, pinasakay na kaminsa isang bus together with other families.
Akala namin sa Meriton Suites kami dadalhin kasi most families na travelers doon dinadala. Pero kami sa Sofitel Sydney Wentworth dinala. 20mins away from the hotel. 5-star hotel pala ito. Sarap ng food. Family of 4 kami and ang binigay na room sa amin is a corner room na 1BR with living room with city and garden view. Day 2 namin today. Kagabi nagemail agad kami sa NSW Revenue para mawaive yung quarantine fee namin. Then tomorrow or sa Wed ang 1st swab test namin.
Enjoy ang kids namin kasi parang nakastaycation. Hopefully wala naman sana kaming nakuhang virus sa airport and flight.
Salamat sa mga tips na naibigay ninyo before our big move

@baiken Thanks!
Ano ulit yung mga pwede ng gawing mga signups and register kahit naka-quarantine?
So far kasi ang meron pa lang kami is NAB account. Visit pa kami sa branch after quarantine to be verified.
Need to apply:
Medicare
Centrelink
Tax File Number
Job Seeker
Family Tax Benefit
Alin ang dapat unahin?

Pwde na muna ang TFN, meron kayo AU address na pwde padalhan? Same sa medicare. Lahat yan online ngayon due to covid. Lahat din yan need full verification ng mga ID’s.. Need nila passport, atm card kasi andun name nyo, medicare card number at reference. Sa Medicare baka maghanap sila ng scanned passport copy at certified by JP. Pwde ka muna magpasa ng application at bigay nila ang medicare card number at reference, palabas nyo pwde to follow ang scanned docs, tsaka nila isend ang card sa address nyo.

@lecia Yes may AU address kami (sa relatives ko). Kung need pala ng ATM card, dapat pala maverify muna kami sa NAB kaya need to visit which is aftee quarantine pa.
Sa Medicare nabasa ko pala pwede submit online. But need sign sa forms. Wala nga lang printer dito. Or pwede bang e-signature? Ano yung JP?
Joined: Nov 06, 2016
Sa Medicare,since hindi tayo nila maverify so need ilang IDs for this. Jan po sa hotel nyo, pwde ka pa print ang sign and scan sa phone then send, dun po sa part na name and signature. Sa ngayon lang ata ang scanned and certified Kasi di nila tayo maverify kasi online transactions lang, by Justice of Peace or police or pharmacist, yan mga pwde magcertify dito for free naman po yan. Pero pag nag visit sa office nila, original docs lang need.

Sharing lang po my experience. Finally andito na sa BNE, QLD. Para nalng din for info para sa mag BM during this pandemic.

Important po my local mobile number, kasi mostly need nang police for info at registration. At pag gusto mo mag order from woolies or coles for snacks at other things. Pero Ok lang din if wala kunin lang nila yung email address.

Hi @wintergreen ,
Ung sakin, inuna ko na yang Medicare (by email) tas ung Centrelink (by phone). Tas ini-link ko ung Centrelink sa myGov. Then ung ATO for the TFN online..Meron kasi tanong sa ATO linking ung TFN sa Centrelink, need ng CRN.
Hindi pa ako nag-claim sa Centrelink (like Jobseeker or Family benefits) kasi need ng mga answers sa accommodation like how much ang payment etc. Bakaka after quarantine na lang hehe..

@lecia Thanks sa suggestion. Nagpaprint ako dito sa hotel (may bayad nga lang) then scanned ko thru mobile kaya nakapagsubmit na ako for Medicare
@Miki Oh ayun sige tawagan namin Centrelink bukas. Yung TFN ginawa na rin namin online kahit wala pang CRN. Inisip ko baka pwede naman iedit kapag may CRN na. We'll see
Di ko pa rin magets paano yung sa Job Seeker and Family Tax Benefit. Wait ko na lang din na magka-CRN.
Kahapon nga pala 1st swab namin which was Day 2. Sabi nila if we dont hear from them, it means negative. 24-48hrs daw results. So far wala naman tawag from them kanina.
