Pano pala ung address mo nung ng paregister ka for medicare, tax, etc. jan mo muna inaddress? Then pa-change address n lng kapag nakakita na ng permanent accommodation?
Thanks in advance sa reply!

1. Eastern suburbs such as Newton is a good place. This is where I used to rent but because my work is in South West, I'm now living in the west side. Public transport in Eastern suburbs is very nice. I'm impress with the normal bus that goes to a railway looks like transformer lol. 15-20 mins to CBD via Paradise Interchange.
2. Kmart has the cheapest appliances, hands down
3. realestate.com.au but if you're a new migrant it would be tough to get a place using this site because of the 100 security points requirement. I've attached a sample application form explaining how you will meet the 100 points. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a9/ronald3_16/rent.jpg Adelaide gumtree is your other option.
4. Based on my experience last two months ago when I was looking for a three bedroom house. The cheapest that I saw is around $270/week (unfurnished), others are around $300 up.
5. Dodo unlimited internet = $59/month including phone line rental. Super fast download! TFC is $50 I guess that's what my brother told me. I just used my computer to watch live channel 2 or 7 or if I want a bigger screen I can just connect my laptop to an LCD.
I hope this has been informative for you. Welcome to SA.
Cheers
