    ang pagkakaalam ko income lang ang taxable. so pag nagpadala ka ng money to Au e hindi taxable yun.. pero syempre magkakaroon ng interst yung pera mo sa AU bank.. yun ang taxable..

    hello po mga kabayan! glad I found this site! Dami ko nalaman n important details sa paglipat namin sa Oz. We just recently received our 189 PR visa (external audit) (with husband and 1 YO son). Our initial entry date will be on March 2016.

    Plano po namin na si husband ko ang magstay at kmi ng baby ko maginitial entry lang. Tanong ko lang po ok lang ba or advisable ba na iregister na ang baby namin sa Centrelink sa pag initial entry pa lang namin para maclaim na namin ang mga benefits na available pra sa mga family with kids (rent allowance etc.) ska para maclaim na sya as dependent ng hubby ko for tax purposes since sya na muna magwork? I mean kahit c baby namin hindi pa muna sya magstay sa oz?

    Thanks in advance po!

    question lang po
    how long does it take to obtain TFN, Register centrelink and medicare.

    TFN - dumating sa akin after 6 working days
    Medicare - upon application mo meron ka na agad temporary id na nakaprint lang, yung ID dumating sa akin after 10 working days
    Centrelink - kung register lang at wala naman iclaim, online lang magregister. di din ganun ka important magregister agad kung wala iclaim.

    yung registration kaya ng 1 day lahat yan.

    after Canberra Initial Entry, stayed outside Au muna. few weeks after, received an email about "survey", then after few weeks, another survey. Then on the 8th month, hindi na email, Mail "survey" na talaga to a Canberra address. Any implication nito sa 2 years residency requirement ko sa South Australia?

    wala naman minimum savings, kadalasan payslip lang. ang importante lang nman is ikaw yung pinaka ok na mag rent sa tingin ng may-ari, kasi kadalasan maraming nagapply for tenancy sa isang property, lalo na magandang locations and good deal. Pero kapag wala siguro masyado kakumpetensya, di ganun kahirap requirements, case to case basis.

    Sir @vhoythoy, tanong lang po. Wala po kasi akong makitang post if required maghanap ng family doctor/GP upon arrival sa Australia, para maregister kami as their patient/client? Or pupunta lang po ba sa GP kapag gusto mo magpacheck-up?

    Maraming salamat po!

    Punta ka nalang kung saan malapit sa place mo at pakita mo lang medicare card. Tawag ka pala muna bago ka pumunta kasi halos lahat dito eh by appointment. Ung iba bulk billing wala kang babayaran, meron nman babayaran mo tapos ma reimburse mo yung 50%. Kung may private health insurance ka, mas ok. May mga hindi kasi covered ang public health.

    Private health insurance only covers cost if you are admitted to the hospital - doctor fee are not included here kaya meron out of pocket... :)

    And reimbursement is not always 50% - it can be less...

    Kaya bili vitamins, exercise and eat healthy food para di magkasakit.
