ibenta nyo na lang mga gamit nyo hehehe at least pandagdag na yun kung bibili kayo dito sa Au ng brand new

peach17

@ringo kami bumili din dito, yung iba second-hand ko nabili. Mas hassle kase for me na magpaship pa ng gamit. hehehe Also, di naman ganon kaganda mga gamit namin sa Pinas kaya mas ok skn na dito bumili and ung mga ok na quality for bigger appliances (like ref). May mga nagbigay lang din kase sa amin ng mga gamit. hehehe Pero yeap, medyo malaking gastos pa rin kahit karamihan ay second-hand or bigay lang... Ok ata sa fantastic furniture/ikea for starters pero un nga, hindi sya pangmatagalan na gamit. hehehe

hi @stolich18, san ka bumili ng mga second hand na gamit?

I am still waiting for the TFN before going to the bank to submit my TFN and input my ATM pin. Tinatamad akong pabalik balik kaya saka na yung ATM pin, hehehe.

I am aiming to master the RTA Practice Online Exam and actual driving so I could get a driver's license instead of applying for the RTA Photo ID which costs $40+.

okay ba tong plans ko? hehe

Ano yang RTA Practice Online Exam sis @nalooka?
Dito ka ba sa Sydney? 1 week na kami dito sis... ang lamig hehehe

I would just like to ask kung may mga donation kayo jan na pde nmen magamit for the meantime, sala set, dining set, ref, tv, etc.. anything will do. Dito kami sa west, my friend has a trailer that we could use. Thanks.

@rguez06 I think kelangan nyo muna unahin mag-open ng bank account kase hihingiin yan sa medicare and centrelink applications. Pati pala TFN mag-apply na rin kayo (online lang ito). Kase better if nakadeclare ang TFN sa bank account para less tax ata.

Yung pag-open ng bank account ung iba nagagawa nila online, pero ako nagpunta na lang ako mismo sa bank. Yung sa medicare and centrelink alam ko kelangan tlga personally magsubmit, kasama ung mga documents na nirrequire. check nyo ung requirements sa medicare and centrelink websites.

@stolich18 Thanks so much sa pagsagot, nakapagopen na ko ng bank account online nung nasa PH pa ko, and naconfirm ko na rin yung identity ko with the bank, for the TFN nagapply na ko online, wait ko na lang yung details. Nakakita na ko ng medicare office na malapit dito, pwede ko ba sabihin na on process na yung TFN ko or need ko tumawag para makuha yung TFN number ko? Salamat!

Sir, you don't need a TFN para maka-enrol sa medicare...

First stop namin ito ang medicare when we arrive 7 months back; ang kailangan lang is a proof of your immigrant status and your bank details where they can credit any reimbursement if you use your medicare.

Hope this helps!

Mga sirs/ma'ams, ask ko lang po kung sino po nag avail ng sim only mobile broadband.? I'm planning to bring my pocket wifi router, sim na,ang po kunin ko.. Tsaka na po kami mag broadband pagnakalipat na po kami to our own rented place. So far I've narrowed my choices to optus or amaysim (optus rider). Anyone here can give feedback on the reliability and speed? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Tia

wireless in optus are unreliable, amaysim uses optus towers so it wont matter, get a telstra sim if you want a faster and reliable connection

Yan din po inaayos ko ngayon. Sa Aselaide kasi kami so walang citibank. Yung comminwealth bank naman hindi daw maka assist ung branch sa SG kasi di daw sila retail bank. 3 pa options ko, anz, nab and hsbc. On the process ko pa silang kinakausap

ung mga libraries din may free wifi access, pero kelangan muna ata kayong maging member ng library.

If you happen to be in the Hills area, ung Rouse hill town centre, may free wifi access. Oliver Brown din meron
