    Get an AMBULANCE COVER for the whole family. This will save you thousand/s of dollar in transport cost and treatment in case any untoward incident happens. In Victoria, the annual fee for a family is just $89. Comparing it to a call out fee of $1200+ if you don’t have a cover, it’s definitely worth it. :)

    @PMPdreamer nope, wala naman, based sa nababasa ko. Pero best option ata na sa big move na kunin yan. Sabi daw pag nakahanap ka daw ng employer at wala ka pang tfn, bibigyan ka daw nila ng form pra fill upan lang. Sila na bahala. Hehe based lang yan sa exp ng iba.

    @PMPdreamer pets ang common. number of tenants would vary but for sure not more than 3. because I know a couple who has got a baby, ok naman. you can apply and make a nice cover letter.

    Just an unsolicited advice sa mga magbiBIG MOVE, before you go to Au padentist na especially sa mga may kids dahil ubod ng mahal rito, hehe Filling lang is around $200 and up. Tooth Extraction is the same.

    @PMPdreamer @UbePandesal You’re both welcome, :) Goodluck sa BM. Worth it din na kumuha ng Ambulance cover. Dito sa Vic $89 lang for the whole family and for the whole year na rin. Mahal kasi ang call out nasa $1k.

    @kubera Hindi siya covered ng Medicare pero kapag child depende kung may Centerlink kayo. Kung titignan, malayo pa ring mura ang pagpapadentist sa atin so kung magagawa sa Phils it’s way better.

    Sorry I can't find a proper forum to ask this, but maybe you have info on how much is the estimated budget for each skilled migrant upon arriving in Aus. What's your style in looking for permanent house and all? We're planning to migrate this year. :)
