why people are so fussy about 489...

spyware

@agd Hi! meron din kaming 2 school aged kids. From what I know, ung dependent kid/s of 489 visa holder, as long as govt. school ay hindi obliged to pay school fees. ung minimal fees lang like school uniforms/ excursions etc.

good day po... ask ko lang po sana, paano po ba nano-nominate ng state/territory? thanks po

@spyware good to hear po! How about Medicare? Sobrang mahal po kaya ng doctor consultation dun kung di subsidised?

@agd May kilala ako sa NSW sila nasa 500 AUD and health insurance per month family of 4. Para samin ng asawa ko I'm looking at 175 AUD per month pero basic coverage lang.

@agd hindi covered ng medical benefits ang visa 489 holders
@lccnsrsnn ganun cya ka mahal per month? was thinking kc nasa aud400+-/pax per annum, same lang sa binabayaran namin currently.

lccnsrsnn

@spyware per month daw family gold cover

spyware

@lccnsrsnn @spyware maraming salamat! Mejo magastos din pala kung may health insurance. Check ko lang din baka kayanin naman sa budget, or mas advisable siguro iwan muna kids hanggat nasa provisional pa.

Pag ba 887 na, pwede na po kahit saan magstay sa AU?

lccnsrsnn

@agd Yes pwede na kahit saan pag 887 na.

each state in australia has their own skills list of occupation that they are willing to nominate/sponsor. you have to have a skill/occupation thats in their list, meet the state requirements and immigration requirements. they have their own migration website which sets out the entire process of nomination. you have to apply to the state for nomination, they will either approver or reject your application.

tanong po, adviseable ba ang 489 kung family of 5 kaming mag-migrate? Makakasurvive ba kami sa gastos if isa lang ang nagwowork samin?

its NOT easy to find a job anywhere in australia especially for new migrants so its better na wag muna magstay ung kids dito permanently until makahanap ng work ung parents kc mas mahirap ung feeling at added pressure kapag may kids na involve at least kpg parents pwede magtiis sa basic until makahanp ng work.

ung iba ang ginagwa, ung isa muna sa mag-asawa ung napunta dito then kpg nakahanap ng work saka na susunod ung family.

cost of private health insurance varies depending upon which state you live in. Expect that NSW is much more expensive than others because cost of living there is ridiculously high.

it also depends on the level of cover whether its basic, mid-range or top of the range. there are heaps of health insurance providers. see example below if you live in SA for family health insurance.

@agd Hi! Kung single earner tpos mga 80k/annually siguro kaya, nothing lower than that. Not sure for a family of 5 but for us na family of 4, $307 medical and hospital insurance per month kami. Importante yung insurance and we have made the most out of it naman, the kids most especially. My eldest is studying in a private Catholic school so mga $320/month. Lahat na ba kids mo of school age? If yes multiply mo na lng by 3.

By the way, we are in ADL so based un sa ADL cost of living.

@koykoy hi! May I ask if yung $304 per month sa medical and hospital insurance nyo, is it per head or for the 4 of you?

Hi @Au_Vic ! Matanong ko lang , san ka saten sa Pinas?

Hello mga kabayan, yup nagtru din ako ng 489 even i lodged po ng 190 via NSW sa EOI. Wala naman po ako nakikitang negative sa 489 and this is a relative pathway to 887 after 2yrs. Gusto ko sa melbourne sana magsettle at nasa melbourne ang eligible relative ko kaya chance ko na rin to. I can work and study din according sa condition ng visa tapos dun pa ako sa desired state makakapagwork.

God's will kung saan mauna ako iinvite dun na ako.

koykoy

@dutchmilk hi! For the 4 of us na yun per month. Breakdown is $227 for medical/hospital insurance and $80 for the extras. So far mabilis nman mag reimburse para sa mga GP visit/pathology etc. yung sa extras dun kami sa members choice nagpupunta.

@koykoy ah ok po. Kami naman family if 3, we have a toddler. If may chance mag wowork ako at iiwan namin sa childcare c baby. Do you have any idea po how much per month or bayad sa mga childcare jan?

koykoy

@dutchmilk kaka inquire ko pa lng a month ago. $105/day na. Nung dumating kmi $98 something per day. Every year I think nagtataas silva dito, that includes health insurance.

Hi @koykoy Kami naman family of 4. Would you mind sharing kung ano ung insurance provider nyo? familiar lang kc ako sa Bupa. Thanks

Au_Vic

@lccnsrsnn congrats! buti nagdecide ka na magsubmit ng EOI at na-invite ka agad. Meaning ganun karami ang nag-apply sa occupation mo at sa sobrang hirap na ma-invite ng 189 or 190 sa big states kaya ung mga applicants ineexplore na ang SA or quickest possible way. Imagine, july lang nirefresh ng SA ang pool then after 3 months napuno agad!

kaya guys, kpag may chance i-grab nyo na agad!

best of luck sau! sana makuha mo na ung golden ticket (grant letter)

Hi guys,

Quick update from Tasmania State migration. The processing time of their SS has increased from 2 weeks up to 8 weeks reason being was they have received huge amount of applications especially from overseas the past weeks/months which at some point they were not expecting and/or were not aligned with their current manpower.

The current timelines does not mean that all applicants will need to wait 8 weeks, it varies depending upon the application and/or occupation.

So dun sa mga nagsubmit ng EOI sa Tassie, be patient lang. They have to follow certain process as part of their validation
