1. Pa-roaming ang Philippine cp no. and buy a prepaid sim to have an australian no.
2.(Optional) NSW Photo Card (to serve as your official ID in NSW, ayt?)
3. get your Tax file No. (online)
4. Open a Bank Account (based on reviews here, NAB is the best since walang additional fees and minimum charge)...with regards the higher interest rates, and transfers online, and credit cards, di ko masyadong naintindihan pa...can anyone explain this further please?
5. Get MEDICARE (which needs the Bank details from no. 3)
6. (optional) centerlink
7. (optional) private health (kung may work and maka-afford na ng monthly payments)
did i miss anything??...
tanong ko lang, sa mga State Sponsored, if i remember it right, we have to inform the state that sponsored us of our arrival...san po magagawa yun?... has anyone here done it na??...can you share HOW po and WHERE?... many thanks...
