in your brother's case, since ung 489 nya is relative sponsor at sa pagkaka-alam ko hindi kasama sa capped occupation ang civil engineer then he may get invited agad once na magsubmit kau ng EOI. ilang points ung brother mo with your sponsorship?
si @jomar011888 na-invite recently lang and alam ko parang engineering ung occupation nya not sure which one. Ganu katagal bago ka na-invite @jomar011888 after mo magsubmit ng EOI for relative sponsor?
@rayortinez below is the link nung most recent EOI invitation ng immigration including ung list ng occupations na naka-cap

Are you still thinking if you will go with 489? lodge mo yan para tumatakbo na ang time at ng makapag move ka na dito sa Melbourne soon.
we've had crazy weather here, been warm the past few days and I reckon it will be cold again in the coming days but Melbourne is melbourne four seasons in a day..lol

Mahirap in what sense? As long as you have a job and you will live a lifestyle that you can afford then I think walang issue pero kapag wala kang work kahit anung visa type mo or even kaming locals e mahihirapan ka talaga.
In my own opinion di hamak na mas mahirap ang buhay ng mga nka student visa dito dahil sa limited working hours kaya mahirap for them na humanap ng work unlike with 489, you can work full time and no restriction sa hours.
Yung medicare and centrelink benefits lang nmn kc ung di maaavail ng 489 pero in my case, I am a local and been living in australia for ages pero never pa ako nag-claim ng centrelink benefit. Medicare, yes nagaavail ako pero ilang beses ka ba sa isang taon magkasakit? believe me, karamihan ng locals dito very rare gamitin ang medicare unless may sakit ka or cguro kung may kids ka na sakitin plus most of us here have private health insurance for tax purposes.
This is the key, if you and/or your partner has a job you will be able to survive, live a very decent life compared sa life sa pinas.
Maybe I need to create a separate thread sa forum explaining about 489 kasi marami ng nagtanong before about sa 489 like mahirap ba makahanp ng work, limited ba ung hours, etc. para maliwanagan ung ibang kababayan natin.
I hope I have given you some ideas sa sagot ko.

I think medicare levy and medicare levy surcharge may mga conditions yan like annual income, age, etc. so not sure kung yung mga low income earners or retirees ay required to pay.
