    @RED ok so, applicable din samin to dba? haha galing Manila to Sydney hindi na namin magbayad ng travel tax. tama ba? Sawakas may pangkain na haha
    @J_Oz - you still pay for your travel tax as you are not yet an Australian PR; when you arrive here with an Australian PR Visa, you become an Australian PR.

    Return trips mo sa Pinas will be travel tax free na (just pay an admin fee of 200 ata).
    Alright, this is noted. Thanks, @TasBurrfoot

    Yup. yung initial entry namin to perth di na kami nagbayad ng travel tax. May pang burger king or tapa king ka na kung sa terminal 3. hehe
    Haha, sige malalaman ko rin kung walang travel tax. Pero mag prepare parin ako just in case. Thanks!

    Hi @piglet24, if I remember it correctly, in less than a month, natanggap na rin namin ang first payment. I think 1st week ng October last year ako nagclaim, then before the month end, natanggap ko na ang payment kasama yung months from the date of our arrival in Australia.

    case to case basis; some people I know waited for 3 months bago nakuha...

    the good news is that i believe bayaran ka ng "backpay" naman and the count starts ata on the day you applied...

    Since initial entry kayo, pupunta pa din kayo ng centrelink/medicare to register for it. pag nagregister kayo pwede kayo mag inquire na regarding sa lahat ng pwede nyo iclaim, then lahat online claims lang. Back to your question:

    a. not sure
    b. wala na pong baby bonus, meron nalang ata to sa may severe hardships.
    c. if 1st baby, 3 months before ka pwede magapply for family benefits, pero pwede din after, itototal lang nila yung makukuha for that financial year.
