Hope someone will answer. Puede ba na yung spouse ko muna ang magstay sa Australia para makahanap na sya ng work then sunod na lang kami ng mga anak ko. Although I am the main applicant.

Cassey

@kholoudmanlucu Hi, pwede ng mauna yung wife mo rito. As long as may valid visa, walang prob kung sino man mauna sa inyo.

kholoudmanlucu

@Kate_OZ2015 I just figured it out somehow as my philippine address appeared still in my billing and shipping address online at EA web. I just updated my AU address here at Perth on EA website 2 days ago but upon calling them this morning, EA is still on a holiday. Call them again na lang. Happy new year!

Kate_OZ2015

@jedh_g oh that's maybe why you havent received it yet.. happy new year too! Kasama mo n b family mo?

jedh_g

@Kate_OZ2015 yeah I called up EA office this morning as they just came up from holidays. She gave me an assessor to handle my request.

Yes, my family is here already since 1st week of December. Just completed my medical health undertaking obligation (Form 815) here at Perth. All required preventive medicines were provided and the health officers were so nice. God bless!

jedh_g

Guys happy to inform our thread here that we had complied with the medical health undertaking as specified under Form 815:

1. Phoned BUPA number as stated in Form 815 at least a week before my child arrival. By the way my youngest 4 year old son was the affected subject.

2. Department of Health (Tuberculosis Centre) authorities shall send you mail correspondence both electronic and by mail post confirming venue of the clinic centre, date and time. Provide HAP ID, passport details and initial entry date.

3. Proceed to clinic centre mentioned in time as specified in the letter. In our case, we went at Perth CBD. Doctor is an Asian with Chinese origin and originally from Adelaide. Supplementary medicines were provided free with a medical staff to explain usage before you leave.

4. Finally, next booking date shall be arranged in front desk 2 weeks after the first check up. In total, the medical assessment will not be longer than 30 minutes to complete.

@AspireAU21 for TFN pwede online but you need to be onshore. For medicare, you need to visit their office personally.

jedh_g

@AspireAU21 absolutely you can't do both for Medicare and TFN.
You can only apply for bank here while you're at the Philippines

Congrats @AspireAU21. Im also looking around that date. Ano airlines kinuha mo and how much?

AspireAU21

@jedh_g @engineer20 Thank you po sa reply! God bless!

AspireAU21

@inhinyero_sg Qantas po. nasa 23500 per person. One way. 30kg ang baggage.
mas mura sya kesa PAL na nasa 30k plus

@jedh_g kmusta yung casual job jan? musta na rin yung permanent job hunting? God bless and thanks for updating us :-)

jedh_g

@elleb1 still looking for a permanent job but progressed to a potential employer. I dropped my casual job already. And I am preparing for taking my full driver's license. This time, really an engineering field in my line of expertise. Right now, spending time with all my children and wife. Just chilling as God is in control now.

jedh_g

@elleb1 by the way all my children had been enrolled at school and just waiting on the 1st of February. Three of them were in the same school one kindy, one year 5 and one year 6 while my eldest is on another, walking distance from home. All have their medicare cards whike my wife has a bank account already under ANZ and has a a department of transport photo card. And most of all, our CENTRELINK application is expected by February to arrive. Cheers!
