The list covers only the post codes under NSW. Canberra falls under a different state. Technically it is DRA but under ACT.

Hello po sa mga recently approved lang or sa mga hindi pa nagbig move, kailan nyo plan mag first entry?

Hello! For those with 491 visa who recently had their big move, anu-ano ang need ipresent?
PH
AU
Since di need ng 491 visa holders to get CFO certificate, did you email CFO to confirm? Di ba hinanap sa Immigration ng PH and AU?
Do you still need to show covid vax certificate? Did you register your covid vax in the AU Immunisation Record? If yes, can this be done in advance?
TIA!

Hindi kami hinanapan ng CFO cert. I think alam na nung IO na di applicable sa 491. Though nag ready pa din ako ng print out nung email from CFO (someone posted a screenshot here in the forum). Niready ko din yung COVID vax certs pero di din naman hinanap even here in AUS.

NSW. It's usually end of January, but for this year, sa Feb 1 ang pasok ng kids namin. AFAIK, sa public schools lang applicable ang catchment areas though it may depend on the school din. Tuition depends din on the schools, but they publish it naman so you can check. Meron din sibling discounts as much as 25% pag 3 kids.

Hellol! PR ka naman ano? So, you applied twice ba? Nag apply ka by email, then online application ka rin. Hmm those might clash.
Online applications are usually faster than email, or even the paper onsite application. Just keep trying on contacting them. Sobrang unfortunate lang nangyari sayo.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Hello po,
Hoping to make the big move sa May/June. Question po- if current boss sa Singapore offers remote work & I Migrate with 491 visa leading to 191 visa, can this remote work for 3 years be considered taxable income (for NOA)? Or LOCAL (aussie) full time work lang Ang icoconsider? Salamat

Sabi po sa document " The employer of a subclass 491 visa holder does not need to be located in a DRA, but if the employer is foreign owned or based overseas, the subclass 491 visa holder may be required to provide evidence that remuneration is paid to the visa holder in Australia and income tax is payable in Australia."
Dapat po kung "foreign owned or based overseas" need mag provide ng "evidence that remuneration is paid to the visa holder in Australia and income tax is payable in Australia."

You mean look for a remote Australia-based work while you're in the Philippines? That itself, as far as I know, wouldn't violate your visa. I did the same thing while waiting for my visa grant but couldn't proceed nga lang with any of the opportunities due to my pending visa (at the time). It can be hard to find a job that accepts offshore applicants without a visa on hand already but doesn't hurt to try.

Oh, that's insightful. However, my situation is quite different. My current employer here in PH is actually a global company based in Miami. Although I am technically Manila-hired, I report to those in Miami and work remotely full time. I was wondering about 2 scenarios:
In both cases, I will still be working remotely and reporting to Miami while living in VIC. I know both of these require the company's approval but I am just looking ahead. I'm looking to know if any of these can be done before I actually bring them up to my employer.

Thank you, currently working offshore for australia-based, direct reporting din sa Australia bosses, pero yung tax and payroll ko dito sa outsourcing company sa PH. If ma-hire po ba ako direct sa AU employer, pero work remotely as offshore, ang tax ko ba nun is sa AU na babawas? Wala bang violation sa visa since hindi pa granted? Trying my luck lang na makahanap para may nag-aabang ng work pag-BM namin. Thanks again!

wala naman magiging issue since unlimited work rights naman yung PR visa. nauna lang ako i-process even before I landed in Au. pagdating dun, apply lang TFN and bank account, then pede na magstart.

Hmmm tingin ko if ma-hire ka directly ng AU employer and you end up working remotely, ang magiging sistema ng payroll mo is sa PH bank account mo and ang tax declarations mo sa BIR pa rin diretso (depende na lang if the company chooses to hire you as contractor, so self-employed ka and you would need to declare tax yourself, or if may PH office yung company). Since wala ka pa naman sa AU/visa and wala ka pang TFN or other requirements to be eligible for taxation sa AU, I don't think sa AU system ang implications because technically you would be a Manila hire pa rin.
Usually naman, in my experience at least, at some point during the hiring process the overseas employer will talk to you about the admin stuff.

That's right. So long as one is part of a company in another country's payroll, there is no tax implications in AU. That is, one's money goes into, say, a PH bank account and shall be taxed there (read more on Double Tax Treaty).
Once onshore though, that's another story. Staying in a PH remuneration/rate isn't economical in the long run when living in AU at the top of it all. This is self-explanatory. And so, the option is just either cross-border internal company transfer if they have an AU counterpart or move on and look for another job to get paid in an AU bank account. Eventually, one will need a TFN or ABN if one chose to become a freelancer.
Take note though that this info is for outright PRs only.
For 491 holders, I am not too sure since I believe they are bound by a more defined set of rules when it comes to employment and eventual 191 requirement. I think they can enter into similar remote work arrangement so long as the get paid in AUD for the obvious tax obligations and live in a regional area. Just do the due diligence on this part.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

VIC only "requires" you to stay and live in its state. Being a PR, you can work for a company located virtually anywhere in the globe that will allow you to work remotely. So long as you pay your taxes. Stay legal.
