We have been reading lots of news concerning the bushfires in Australia. Is it still safe to make the big move now? Prayers for those affected by the fire. Sobrang kawawa ang mga animals and humans around the affected areas, pati na rin ang mga firefighters. 😢

Moving in a month and medyo kinakabahan ako dahil sa South Coast NSW kami mismo. Baka itawag namin sa immigration if ever kung pwedeng lumipat sa ibang area kung hindi pa talaga safe. 489 visa here btw.

I feel really sad for the innocent wildlife na namatay and sa mga firefighters 😭 Pagod na yang mga yan for sure kaya def more prayers are needed.

Saan po kayo mismo mag big move? Affected area nga po south coast NSW.

@eioj16 Happy New Year. Sa case namin, nagonline application lang kami ng savings account sa NAB (no deposit required). After ma approved via online, pwede lang magdeposit (sa amin via POSB bank international remittance). Then kapag nasa Oz na kayo pwede na ipaactivate ang account ninyo sa designated branch. At pwede na kayo mag apply ng debit card kapag may local Oz address kayo.

@kimpoy hello po. mga gano po katagal bago na-approve yung application nyo? Thanku!

@kimpoy same same lang tayo ng month pero family of 4 kami.

sabi nung kasama ko na andun na(3yrs na), since hindi naman daw all the time mag apply ng work, after mg apply sa umaga labas daw para kumuha ng orders sa grab eats. so, mas maganda tlga na me ssakyan kana para me konting kita bago makapag trabaho. after daw ng lunch balik na naman para mag send ng resume. then balik nnmn sa grab pag dinner time. mgandang diskarte din

Sa NSW need the at least 1 year ang license bago ka pwede mag Uber

Related, topic. Yung mga graduate roles ba worth it din applyan if experiences ka na from overseas?

Tried this before, walang nag contact sa akin sa mga inapplayan ko na may naka lagay na graduate role. I think requirement talaga nila yung newly grad.

@corrappyka_CE and @ms_ane mga classmate ko to sa Dec 2018 thread..hehe good luck sa BM nyo

Too early pa po. Inaabot po talaga ng months ang processing and can take even year depende sa mga requirements niyo at s CO na nag hahandle.

Ours took 10 months before na grant.

@rjlim thanks batchmate! Saang state ka nagsstay batchmate?

Major Banks in Australia
1. Commonwealth Bank of Australia
https://www.commbank.com.au/moving-to-australia.html
2. Westpac
https://www.westpac.com.au/personal-banking/bank-accounts/moving-to-australia/
3. ANZ
https://www.anz.com.au/personal/bank-accounts/moving-to-australia/en/
4. NAB
https://www.nab.com.au/personal/banking/migrant-banking

I attached a comparison of the Big Four Banks from https://www.finder.com.au/savings-accounts/big-four-banks.

Which is the best bank in Australia?
There's no one bank that is 'best', and choosing which bank to go with with depend on you individual needs. Here's some points of difference among the Big Four that may help you decide which is best for you.

1. CommBank. Largest ATM network in Australia and the largest bank in terms of market capitalisation.
2. NAB. Has the only bank account (out of The Big Four) that doesn't charge monthly account keeping fees.
3. Westpac. Has the largest overseas ATM network, allowing you to access more than 50,000 global ATMs fee-free through the Westpac Global ATM Alliance.
4. ANZ. Only Big Four bank to offer Apple Pay (correct as of March 2018)

Okay yung pinost ni @auyeah . NAB ang wife ko, then i went with CommBank. we decided its better to have different banks, para at least magkaiba yung level of services. sa NAB, walang monthly maintenance fee. Sa Commbank naman, merong 2$ kapag walang pumapasok na 2,000AUD and above sa account mo. Pero ang gusto ko sa Commbank, kapag nag transfer ng pera ay real-time. Kung mag initiate ng sahod Friday afternoon, Friday mo din marereceive. Whereas sa NAB, kapag Friday nag initiate, Monday mo na marereceive.

sa mga balak mag IED lang before mag-BM meron ba kayo pwede i-advise kung ano ang pwede at di muna gawin for IED? meron ako nabasa na wag muna mag-file ng TFN kung di pa naman BM.

Hindi naman ako hiningan ng certificate. Sa application form the drivers license meron lang dun part na details ng previous license mo and isa dun is date kung kelan na issue. Nilagay ko lang yun date wala naman tinanong na iba or hiningi na certificate
