Sa community/social services ako. Actually marami din naman hiring sa field ko mostly sa government position baka mahirapan ako kasi 489 visa namin.

nikx

@Strader oh nice! madami nga dito government position. I don't think mahihirapan ka dahil sa 489 visa mo. may friend ako sa darwin nasa government din siya nagwwork and 489 din siya. May restriction lang minsan pag masyadong sensitive yung mga information na ihahandle mo, yun usually nirerequire nila is citizen.

Strader

@nikx good to hear that! Minsan nga citizen nakikita ko sa position specially mga project management for community development work. At tsaka mag aadjust din kasi iba mga implementing rules nila dyan kaysa dito . Our initial plan is to train aged care or ung mga short courses sa hospitality na meron ng placement.
Thank u for sharing @nikx .. mauuna muna si @kisses1417 dyan hehe dba sis. Waiting for grant pa kasi ako.

nikx

@Strader madaming options ka na pwedeng iexplore once nandito na kayo. yung partner ko nagaaral siya ngayon sa TAFE ng early childhood education naman and may placement siya sa isang childcare dito. Mas okay yung courses na may placement. Kasi siya kinausap siya nung head ng childcare, maganda daw feedback sakanya ang knoconsider siya na ihire once natapos niya yung course.

Strader

Ay gusto ko rin ng ganyan sis. ^^ magkano ba ang course na yan? Actually meron din ako experience for child protection and education .. uu nga @nikx at least meron naman options.

nikx

@Strader For PR nasa less than $2.5k yung Certificate 3 na course which is 9 months, nakiusap pa siya na installment tapos pumayag Pero mas advisable kumuha ng diploma which is less than 2years naman. Yung mga classmate naiya na foreign student nasa $20k+ yung bayad nila for a diploma course.

Check mo nalang kung ganyan din yung rate pag 489, di lang ako familiar.

Strader

Omg! Mahal talaga basta international student. Pang future plan na yan sis kung PR na tsaka nalang mag.aral. ^^
Pagdating nyo dyan meron kayo kakilala sis? Marami bang pinoy dyan na nagpapashare ng accommodation kahit short period lang while looking for job? ^^

kisses1417

Thanks @nikx for the infos. Yup itailor fit namin mabuti nag resumec giod to know you were settled in quickly. What about sales? Pharma? Me and my husband works for a Pharma company kasi and ang line of work namin both ay sales and sya naman diatribution. Pag ba sinabi na hanap muna ng local experience, how many months po ba ibig sabihin na masabi na nila na may experience na?

Dadating na yan @Strader . Sana magkasabay tayo sa Adelaide

Strader

@kisses1417 sobrang tahimik ng grants ngayon. Nag eenjoy lang ako dito sa forum. ^^

nikx

@Strader wala talaga kaming kakilala dito sa adelaide pag dating namin. what we did is nagrent muna kami ng shared room sa CBD for less than 3 months. nung nagkawork na kami tsaka lang kami naghanap ng sarili naming apartment.

@kisses1417 Hindi ako masyadong familiar sa sales eh, yung local experience i think hindi naman lahat ng company nagrerequire ng local experience basta lang maconvince mo sila sa interview na kaya mo yung work.

kisses1417

Thnaks @nikx ! may kasama ba kayo anak? May i know how much rent mo nun nung nag shared accom kayo? Lalo na nasa CBD area pala

Strader

@nikx ganun din gagawin namin sis in the future. Magkano kaya ang shared accommodation for a family of 3. Meron kasi kaming 7yrs old. Pinoy ba yong ka share nyo?

nikx

@kisses1417 @Strader ako lang and yung partner ko. wala kaming kids.
medyo mahal yung rent namin eh. kasi nasa CBD siya talaga malapit sa central market tapos short term lang kami kaya mas mahal $320pw all in and fully furnished. Kaya namin pinili dun kasi madaling pumunta anywhere since wala kaming car and naghahanap palang kami ng work. chaka wala din talaga kaming kakilala so better na sa city muna kami para di din masyadong tahimik.

hindi pinoy yung kashare namin. aussie pero okay naman isa lang siya sa kabilang room and laging nasa work.

Strader

@nikx mahal talaga pag nasa cbd na. Tumitingin na rin kami sa airbnb . . Hirap din naman kasi kung bahay uunahin tapos wala pang work. Saka na maghanap ng matitirhan na pang long term kung meron na work para makakuha ng unit na malapit lang sa workplace. ^^

@nikx hello po! makikisali ako...
Kung naka visa 489 ba, pede parin bang initial entry lang muna ung dependents tapos ung primary applicant ung mag.stay muna?
Tas pag.settled na cya ( or kahit wla pang work), babalik nalang ung dependents nya for good na.
pede ba un? or applicable lang sa PR

nikx

@spyware as far as i know primary applicant lang yung required na mag initial entry. But just to be sure, you can always contact yung state or your CO to confirm.

Hello po sa lahat. Excited na po kami and just counting the days. Flight po namin to Adelaide is 26th Sept. Meron lang po kami tanong and sana meron pong makapagbigay ng information. Marami po kasi kaming dalang bagahe, around 7 po. Meron po bang van service from airport which we can hire and bring us to our apartment? Mga magkano po kaya? Pasensya na po kung nasagot na ito dati. Maraming salamat po in advance.

Hello po!

Thank God Visa approved last August 2017.
Big move since 1st time ko mag stay ng matagal sa ibang bansa without my family.
Will move to Adelaide Australia this October and will leave with my wife na nandun na since nagaaral siya. Very excited at the same time kabado since I need to look for a job (20hrs/week) and hopefully makalipat sa isang small apartment/room with my wife para hindi na kami nakikitira sa relatives niya. nakakahiya din kasi. Looking forward to see the beauty of Adelaide and want to be part of the Filipino-Aus Adelaide Community and sana mameet ko kayo lahat.

Cheers!

(Di na ako kumakain ng kanin para masanay haha)

@nikx hi po! Just reading thru this forum and just want to ask. If visa 489 po, madali lng po bah makakahanap ng IT related job jan sa SA? Totoo po bang mas preferred jan mga PRs at citizen? Developer Programmer kc c husband and hoping to receive an invite soon.

nikx

@jmgs madaming taxi na van sa airport, derecho lang kayo sa pila ng taxi and usually may airport staff na nagaassist dun. van din kinuha namin nung nag first arrive kami kasi may dala akong bike box. from airport to city nasa $40 din yung inabot.

nikx

@dutchmilk makakakuha siya ng work kahit 489, usually naman kasi ang tinitignan ng employer is may work rights ka dito sa SA. basta indicate niyo lang sa cover letter. kung madali, case to case din eh. yung iba sandali lang nakakuha din agad, yung iba medyo matagal tagal. goodluck!

ronyan

Hi guys, musta mga taga adelaide? Spring na. Masarap na ang lumabas. Kelan po next meetup?

dutchmilk

@nikx ah ganun po bah. Sana nga swertehen din kami if ever matulog talga kami jan.
