    Not sure what you meant by your question but CFO is only needed by PH Immigration Officials; if you go straight to Australia from somewhere else, CFO is not needed.

    just an update, saw it from http://philippines.embassy.gov.au/mnla/Label_Free_VisaLabel_Free_Visa.html:

    Australia’s visa label policy
    From 1 September 2015 Australia ceased issuing visa labels to holders of Australian visas. Australian visas are issued and recorded electronically.

    No direct experience sa pagdadala ng kids pero madami na ako nakilala dito sa forum na kasama na nila yung kids nila agad. Nakayanan naman nila so tingin ko kakayanin niyo din naman. Ang important lang siguro is dami kayo dala pera while looking for work (if wala pa).

    @Azriel @ironman_gray22 I read also somewhere dito sa forum na parang di pwede although sa visa grant letter wala ng specific instructions or restrictions..I guess we better ask our CO or maybe sa hotline ng DIAC..thanks for the reply btw :)

    @MsVi my wife came here before me (im the primary) last nov '14 then sumunod kami and mga kids on dec '14. kung walang restriction sa visa grant letter, puede mauna dependents.
    I think few years ago may ganung condition na kelangan mauna or sabay ang primary and dependents pero now inalis na

    3 dependents: wife and two kids

    Tama. Read your visa grant. Kung walang nakalagay na restrictions ( something like •visa condition 123xx - must not entet before primary") then pwde mauna kahit ang secondary applicant..

    hi guys..patanong po. - must make our first entry na po on or before March 24, 2016. We are ACT state sponsored, by the way. Ang date of entry po ba, based sya sa pagpasok namin sa Australia o sa pagpasok namin dapat sa ACT?
    We plan to land kasi in Sydney on March 22 at mag-stay muna sa kamag-anak namin for maybe a week before moving to ACT...

    Australia - once makapasok ka anywhere in Australia, no one would know exactly what date ka dumating sa ACT...
