Work and life in Darwin

DCWerick

mahal sa uni lodge and good if single ka, but for couple like me di pwede. Naghahanap din kami na malapit sa school.

etong naka circle ang okay pero hirap makahanap. If meron kayo makita na house, looking kami ng asawa ko for a room. we can share sa rent.

meron ako naka attach na pic na okay walking to biking distance.

@jan1004 MEM?

hello sa lahat, tanong ko lang sana sa mga veterans natin dito sa NT, particularly sa mga may primary aged kids tapos working ang both parents, kanino nyo po iniiwan ang mga babies nyo pag nasa work kayo? sa case ko kasi maaga ang start ng work ko, wala pang bukas na childcare centers. ung afternoon wala sana problema dahil may afterschool care. anyone having the same dilemma?

joygrace

@Aling_Chayong
yes po pwede na sa Palmerston

joygrace

@Aling_Chayong
Ma'am, pwede kami sa palmerston. baka pwede po tayo magcommunicate about the accommodation sa email:[email protected]

Again with regards sa topic ng thread na to, 3 months na ako dito sa Darwin at nagustuhan ko ang work life balance dito, walng long commute unlike Sydney and since your paid by the hour, mag extend ka man, bayad ka (unlike nung nagwo work pa ako sa Singapore, puros OTY).

@buzzy nag babasa basa po ako to get a hang of life nin Darwin. nabasa ko po taga sorsogon ka. I am po, taga housing kami area. Maaram ka pa tabi mag estorya sin Bicol?

im not sure if actively checking this website pa din po kayo pero hingi sana ako ng advise sa lahat about sa car renting or buying a car (second hand). What is the average renting po dyan for one room in a shared flat?

Preparing to submit my final application to Darwin before the year ends and part of the writeup is to provide the expected expenses and I want to make sure na close to reality po ang aking write ups.

May be out of topic na po ito sa iba. Thank you God bless.

archbunki

@mondejar Sir ano po line of work nyu?

SG rin po ako been here for 8 years. Planning to submit my papers soon. Complete na un aking requirements except for some write-ups.

Would sir please give me an idea magkano po ang monthly renting and have you bought your car po? around magkano po budge and ideally po ano ba mas dapat.

Buy a car or rent lang po?

Good morning. Pede po ba mag tanong.

Result for my NT State Sponsorship came last 29 Jan 2016.

I got offerred subclass 489 po, instead of 190. Praise God for the blessing.

Gusto ko lang po malaman pano ko po mainclude un my now fiancee. Kasi po hindi ko na din muna sya sinama sa initial application- 1 mahal po pag dalawa sa agency, second po aantayin ko pa maging oks mga documents nya and gusto ko po sana makahabol ng January 16 Submission.
With God's grace po I got offered 489, pano po ba ang change status?
Mahirap po ba?

@archbunki congrats!!!! ang alam ko u can apply for your fiance as defacto partner... I suggest just take it one step at a time...secure your 489 visa first...get a job here and then once settled kna you can then work on applying for your fiancee as a de facto partner. And then after 2 yrs pwede kna magapply ng PR.

archbunki

@Rye23 Thank you!!, di pa pla approved un sa NT, offer parang. We will wait for the NT to send me the actual invitation. Excited lang masyado. . . sir any idea gano katagal ang de facto?
Pede ko ba sya antayin nlng pra sabay kami or need talga mauna ako?

Rye23

@archbunki wla ako idea processing time ng defacto...depende din siguro sa mga docs. na maproprovide nyo para majustify na defacto partner kayo. Assuming na complete docs. nyo and high priority nman un 489...the most siguro is 3 months. Gud luck!

archbunki

@Rye23 Thanks for the info! =D

@jecco33 wow nice ? how much po ang pinaka murang accomodation sa darwin near university ?

Rye23

jecco33

@markjohn if you are a student, there is a nice student accommodation around casuarina for around $200. This is a shared accommodation for students.

Anyone here who can help???? I'm from Sydney, mahirap ba ang buhay sa Darwin? I'm under student visa for 3yrs already.. Plano namin ng partner ko nang lumipat sa Darwin.. Madali bang makahanap ng work? Currently working ako sa Community Services at Retirement Village dito sa Sydney

Rye23

@garfield17 lilipat kba dto as student visa din? madali lang buhay dto...laid back lang and tahimik...don't expect much especially if you're coming from Sydney. work wise...i think madali lang din...u just need to be patient pag bagong dating kau...until u get settled in.
