To give you a rough estimate we spent on the FIRST month alone:
1,310/month sa studio unit + 1,310 for bond payment (in Pinas we call it as deposit para kung may masira sa unit dito nila ibabawas, if wala problem ibabalik nila at the end of lease) and mga $180/week for food, utilities, etc.
Total = 3.3K on the first month alone (nakakaiyak talaga, lalo na pag sa savings binabawas kasi wala pang work).
Succeeding months total expenses = 2K.
I highly suggest na kung meron kayo kakilala, tumira muna kayo sa kanila. Kami kasi we risk it all before pumunta dito. We underestimated this city kaya hindi namin naanticipate yung buhos ng gastos. We both resigned from our work when we we came here kahit na alam namin wala kami matitirhan kamag anak.
Sa mga nagplaplan pumunta dito, may mga kakilala ako nag initial entry muna and then nakahanap din ng work nung pagbalik. Yung iba risk taker, eventually nakakuha din ng work after.
May mga nabasa ako forum posts from other nationalities experiencing hardships as well here in Australia. They said that "this country has a unique way of humbling its people" which I find so accurately described.

Kung family kayo, better na mauna muna ang isang spouse until makahanap ng work saka sumunod ang rest of the family. May mga kakilala kase ko na nahirapan makakuha ng work, took them 5-6 months... Sa accommodation nman, madaming resident pinoy na nagpapa share ng accommodation. Di naman kailangan sa city ka mismo nakatira kase mahal talaga rent duon. Dumating ako dito late 2010, as in walang kakilala. May nagrefer lang sa akin sa isang pinoy na naghahanap daw ng housemate. Sige naman ako, lakasan lang ng loob. Nagbigay ng down payment through western union (syempre di ka naman patutuluyin ng di ka nagbabayad muna lalo na strangers talaga kayo sa isat-isa) I arrived here na hindi sigurado kung may dadatnan ba ako sa address na pupuntahan ko hahaha (pero syempre I googled yung address to check whether it exists)! Turned out mabait naman yung naghahanap ng ka share. The place was only less than 5kms away from cbd, 15 mins train to city. I was asked $600 monthly rent then (including water but not power) for a reasonably sized furnished bedroom, including access to basic household needs like washing machine, kitchen utensils/fridge, saka gamit ng tv. Ni-brief pa ko pano ang public transport at sinamahan pa ko mag-open ng bank account. Saka magrequest ng tfn (tax file number). By the way, yan ang mga pinakuna nyong gagawin, TFN and open a bank account para makasahod agad sa first job... So yun nga, swerte ko din... Yung price ng rent sa ngayon eh di naman ganun kalaki ang inflation. Kung nakakuha ako $600 shared accommodation dati, siguro makakakuha kayo ng $650-700 for the same things I was entitled to. Pero that comes with a bit of luck too, na mabait ang unang makakatagpo nyo dito

Balak kse ng hubby ko kung ma-approve visa namin this July.. maga-apply muna kami online for 2 months.. until end of Sept.. kung wala pa ding offer, ako daw muna ang mauna sa October para humanap ng work para masuportahan nia ako financially doon.. mahirap kse na pareho kaming walang work..

Nope, Pinas kami galing.
Yup laidback dito, super like talaga namin ni hubby ang family life dito.
Ang major disadvantage lang, un lamig, mas malamig daw dito kesa sa Sydney sabi ng iba.
Thru God's grace and blessings, ok na, naka settle na.
Exactly 2months si hubby dito un 1st day of work nya :-)
Wag kayo matakot, di tayo pabayaan ni Lord.
Kahit si hubby pa lang ang working, nakaka rent sa 4 bedroom house and nakaka-save.
Di yan sa pagyayabang, para lang ma motivate kayo.
Hope to meet you here.
Sa September 26 nga, punta kami Tulip Festival with PinoyAu friends :-)
Pagdating dito, kontak sa FB kaya nagkikita kita din :-)
GOD Bless.

Medyo may worry pa rin sa job hunting pero yun nga basta malakas fighting spirit at di naman masyado maarte sa paghahanap ng work, eh makakaya iyan! Madali naman tayo makaka adjust na mga pinoy. Madiskarte pa!
Ngayon nag iipon ako ng cert and enroll sa short courses para naman may edge pagdating jan.
Naku sayang plan din namin pumunta Tulip Festival pero sa Sept. 17 pa, yung Tesselaar ba yan? Pero baka saglit lng kmi dun, silip lng sa mga tulips lol.
Sana makasama din ako sa mga meetups nyo, go na go ako jan
