i further suggest go to IDP and double check with them since they are authority on this matter. They can assist you with regard to your urgent query. Good luck and God bless

1. even if you don't have the student visa, pwede ka magbook or bumili ng ticket, you need passport lang
2. incoming passenger card usually is given sa plane during the flight, pero you can get naman once you arrive sa airport
3. better verify with dfa or bi para sure
4. i don't recommend cebupac , if you will add up all the addons sa cebupac, there is a little difference of amount lang sa pal airline fee.. better get pal or sq or qantas(have not tried this airline yet)
5. afaik, passport, your visa grant (not sure about cfo sticker for your husband as he is your dependent, try to give a call to CFO to verify)
6. If he is your dependent as you've mentioned, hindi na sya considered as tourist.. but i think he will need a CFO sticker before he is allowed to leave ph.. check the thread for things you need to do before going to australia for further infos:

I would just like to share my experience in processing my visa application subclass 573.
Sept 15, na received ng immigration Pero wala kami nareceive na acknowledgment email/letter from them, tumawag ako sa hotline number nila kaya ko nalaman. Sept 21 2015 Dapat intake ko dun, I even asked my university for extension and they grant my request until Oct 2...
I was advised by my agency and did some research as well na ang processing is 14-21 business days. Few days before mag Oct 2 nag book na ako ng flight even without hearing anything from the immigration.unfortunately, di pa din Lumabas yung result that week.
2weeks ago, we received an email from the immigration saying my application was transferred and being processed in Jakarta, Indonesia. Akala ng agency ko may problema ako sa immigration ng Indonesia since I declare that na napuntahan ko na bansa for the past 5 yrs. My case officer then informed us that the reason why is because I personally know an immigration officer here in Manila.
My case officer in Indonesia only asked for my new C.O.E. Yun lang. Walang show money, wala din phone interview.
And today, I received my visa grant ))). Nilakasan ko na loob ko na directly email my case officer just this morning, wala pang 2 hrs nagreply agad siya sabi nya Nov 17 pa daw na grant visa ko, Pero wala talaga ako o yung agency ko natanggap.
Kaya dun sa mga iba na naghihintay, wag kayo matakot tumawag sa immigration. Ako halos very week natawag ako after nung 21 days na processing time frame nila natigil lang yun nung nalaman ko na na transfer application ko sa Indonesia.
Keep praying guys!! Wag kayo mawalan ng pagasa, ako almost 3 mos bago ko malaman ngayon na visa grant ako ))
God bless us all!! ))
