NEW PR - WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

I called centrelink and asked if online registration can be done. Yes it can be done, i already have my CRN no. now Just go to www.humanservices.gov.au. Then click the "Register" link on the upper right of the website. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page, there's a "Register" button. Then just follow instructions in there.

Good Find!

Nice. I actually found that but I did not finish it because it will give you a CAN instead of a CRN. Now I know that these are one and the same. Still, I am not entitled to claim anything. He he. I am not complaining. Medicare is more than enough for me. I went to the GP because i had high cholesterol before. She requested everything and it is all free. This is an awesome country. Thank God for the chance to live and raise my kids here.

if you are more than 30 years old, and you will not settle yet in AU within 12 months, then it is not advisable.. please read more about LHC..

Hi everyone.

I just have one question. Actually two questions. Ehehe

1. Ang 189 visa holder ba eh considered ng domestic student dito sa oz? Or still international student padin? Kasi diba ang laki ng priveledge kapag domestic student ka, ang liit lang ng tuition mo sa skul.

2. Eh ang dependant or secondary 189 visa holder naman, considered ding domestic student din ba?

Salamat.

lock_code2004

@lester_lugtu - PRs (primary and secondary and dependents) are residents so they are not considered international students.

mga kabayan pakicheck kung tama yung naconsolidate ko na info about some of the benefits we are entitled, curiosity lng po:
Family Tax A: entitled if you are having a dependent under ur care (no aid)
Family Tax B: entitled if isa lng yung may income sa family
Parenting payment: entitled after 2 years residency
rental assistance: not entitled if u are receiving Family tax benefit?(confusing)
child care benefit: if ur child is under child care aid,eliminates ur prev for Fam Tax ben
telephone allowance: claimable in conjunction with parenting payment

the above list only applies for my status having a 1-yr old..marami pang schooling benefits na hindi ko sinama. open for inputs and corrections...

For Rental Assistance, you are entitled if you're receiving family tax benefit.

thanks..I am really confused with that bnefit...salamat sa pagclarify

sa pagkaka explain saki nng cente link, may number of days pwedeng wla anak mo sa austrlaia else tatangalin ang FTB.

nog2lng

May tanong lng po ako tungkol sa FTB..ano po ba babasehan nila sa income test..salary before tax or salary after tax?nalilito po ksi ako pano yung Adjusted Income Tax..
balita po ksi sa 2015 binabaan nila yung bracket sa FTB-B from $150k to $100k na lgn amg pwede makakakuha ng benefit..

salamat po

PR ka naman ata so that would make you eligible...

henareh

@TasBurrfoot
yes po under 190..hindi ko kasi alam kung same rules nila sa bawat state.
ibig po ba sabihin sa mga months na nagstart kami magsettle down may allowance agad mga kids? worry ko kasi kung isama namin sila baka hindi enough budget namin.kung sakali na hindi kami muna makahanap ng work agad agad.

i don't have kids so i may be of no use... you can google though, lotsa help!

what i can confirm to you is that centrelink, medicare, tax matters are usually the same for all states.

henareh

@TasBurrfoot ok po.meron pa po ako isa pang concern, baka may idea kayo.
sa SA 190 po kami allowed mag stay for 2 yrs pero ang plan sana nmin iwan muna ung mga baby namin sa victoria for 1-2 months while naghahanp kami ng work andun kasi young mother at mga kapatid ko.
pwede kaya un?

salamat po..

netzkeenet

Para po sa mga New PRs... I believe exempted tayo sa pagbabayad ng Travel Tax if flying from the Philippines... tama po ba?

For example PR kana, pero hindi ka naman nakatira sa Australia (like you are still working in Singapore/Dubai)... Then nagbakasyon ka sa Pinas and decided to travel to Hong Kong or Bangkok... Magbabayad ka pa rin ba ng Philippine Travel Tax? Or exempted ka na since you are an Australian PR (even though hindi ka pa naman nakatira sa Oz)?

May naka-experience na po ba ng ganito?

Salamat po sa makakasagot..

exempted na bro.

nung papunta ako malaysia (kung saan ako work nuon), di ko na daw kailangan magbayad ng travel tax kasi resident na ako sa australia, di ko to pinansin nun kasi meron naman ako OEC.

nung papunta kami dubai nun sinabihan ulit kami sa travel tax na di na namin kailangan magbayad nun basta magpresent ng Visa Grant, yun nga lang di namin dala nun kaya napabayad kami.

wizardofOz

@RED ah oks thanks brad..

Balak ko kasi magtravel sa SG from Manila, may mura kasing fares, sayang din yung Php2K+ na Travel Tax kung sisingilin pa sakin

Bale need ipresent yung Visa Grant saka yung CFO sticker as proof of PR, ano?

@RED ok so, applicable din samin to dba? haha galing Manila to Sydney hindi na namin magbayad ng travel tax. tama ba? Sawakas may pangkain na haha

J_Oz

or hindi parin kasi sabi dito "Filipino permanent residents abroad whose stay in the Philippines is less than one (1) year"

Ay may ganito din pala,,,buti nbasa ko to,,,interesado din ako malaman if hindi na ba tayo magbbyad nyan,,sana my mkasagot,,
Thanx,,

wizardofOz

As far as I could remember, ang sabi PDOS, kapag paalis na papuntang Australia yung Emigrant.. hindi na sya sisingilin ng Travel Tax kas magiging Immigrant na sya...

Also ito yung sabi ng TIEZA website na proof na ippresent

http://www.tieza.gov.ph/index.php/travel-tax

Filipino permanent residents abroad whose stay in the Philippines is less than one (1) year

1. Copies of the identification pages of passport and stamp of last arrival in the Philippines:

2. Proof of permanent residence in foreign country (e.g. US Green card, Canadian Form 1000, etc)

3. Certification of Residence issued by the Philippine Embassy / Consulate attesting that he/she is continuously residing for five years in the country which does not grant permanent status or appropriate entries in the passport.

Also, sa pagkakaalala ko rin, once nag-enter kana ng Australia, whether dumaan ng Pinas or ibang bansa, considered ka na as Immigrant / Permanent Resident ng Australia... which means may immunity ka na sa Travel Tax hehe... Tama kaya ako?

TasBurrfoot

@RED ok so, applicable din samin to dba? haha galing Manila to Sydney hindi na namin magbayad ng travel tax. tama ba? Sawakas may pangkain na haha

@J_Oz - you still pay for your travel tax as you are not yet an Australian PR; when you arrive here with an Australian PR Visa, you become an Australian PR.

Return trips mo sa Pinas will be travel tax free na (just pay an admin fee of 200 ata).

RED

@RED ok so, applicable din samin to dba? haha galing Manila to Sydney hindi na namin magbayad ng travel tax. tama ba? Sawakas may pangkain na haha

Yup. yung initial entry namin to perth di na kami nagbayad ng travel tax. May pang burger king or tapa king ka na kung sa terminal 3. hehe
