Just arrived in Australia

Hello. I just arrived in Australia as a student on July. Kailangan ko po ba ng TFN agad? At mag register sa centre link before ako makahanap ng work? Thanks po sa sasagot.

Why would you sign up for Centrelink if you're not an Australian citizen or PR? If you're an international student, you would not be eligible for Centrelink benefits.

If you plan to work in Australia while on your student visa, you need a TFN. You cannot start working without one, as most employers will ask you for it when they hire you. Just apply for a TFN via the ATO website (don't get it elsewhere, as other websites might be a scam).

1. You need a sim card (pwede rin bumili sa online, pero mas okay na bumili sa Aldi kasi mas mura)
2. Apply for a Bank ATM Card
3. Apply for TFN (online)
