@RejNaix11 ahh, requirement yun specifically if you’re working with children. Parang police check. Info para sa mga teachers or gusto magwork as teachers, child care workers, nannies, etc.

RejNaix11 · January 2019

Congrats po @caienri sa successful BM!

caienri · January 2019

@michaelguanzon_ust salamat! God bless din sa BM nyo! Tuloy tuloy lang natin ang good vibes

caienri · January 2019

@flaming_vines oo. Same lang sa sg. Keep left. Fast lane sa right. Lol. Ang mga tracks walang safety doors, unlike sa sg. Namiss ko tuloy “doors are closing”. Hehe So pag may mga bagets, mag ingat. Wag lumagpas sa yellow line. Tska wag kalimutan mag tap in/out. Muntik na mangyari sakin to. Lol. Sa iba iba kasi makikita yung card reader dpende sa station.

@caienri hi! Ung TFN naapply mo before ka dunating aus? Tnx!

sagutin ko ito ha. @milktea13, hindi ka pwedeng mag-apply ng TFN pag wala ka sa AU. Nadedetect ng system.

jazmyne18 · January 2019

@caienri naalala ko ito! May mga areas kasing poste lang si tap in/out.

) Pero laking tulong sa akin nito kasi naiwan ko ung coat ko sa pinagkainan namin, narealize ko nung nasa platform na, takbo ako. No need tap out at tap in ulit. Haha.

caienri · January 2019

@jazmyne18 hahaha
May advantage pala

agd · January 2019

@flaming_vines Parang 3 times lang kami kumain sa labas, puro luto lang sa bahay para tipid.

Yung 3 na yun, wala kahit isang child seat.

Update!

Went to Parramatta where the service centre and medicare are just two blocks away from each other. All done in two hours.

1. TFN was applied online

2. Working With Children Check

- go to the service centre with your passport, atm card, and pay $80

- WWCC number will be emailed after 2-3 working days

3. Medicare

- go to medicare/centrelink office with your passport, grant letter, and application form

- After they encode your details and make a copy of your passport and grant letter, they will give you a temporary ID (A4 paper)

4. Centrelink

- No need for single individuals

Hi @caienri , sa NSW ka bang state magbased? Pwede kaya kami sa NSW na din mag-asikaso ng medicare, tfn at pati centrelink kahit sa Adelaide kami magbased. Visa 190 (South Australia) kasi kami, magstay for a week or two sa NSW, then tsaka pupunta ng SA after. Sayang din kasi time, kaya baka pupwede na namin maasikaso sa NSW habang nakabakasyon dyan...

se29m · January 2019

@ignorms okay lang po yun as long as yung postal address nyo is in south australia, kasi i mail po yung medicare card and tfn

caienri · February 2019

@ignorms hi! Hehe nasagot na ni @se29m yung tanong mo. Go lang para masulit yung time.

RejNaix11 · February 2019

Hi Sir @boogie789, you may attend the PDOS seminar and get a CFO booklet (A guide for Filipinos migrating to Australia), there are list of documents and other requirements before you travel.

ivandemarco · February 2019

Hi guys.. just arrived in Sydney yesterday, family of 4.. nkakakpagod pero no complains.heheh..thanks sa mga tips.. today ill try to do TFN, and bank.. kuha din ng photocard para may additional ID as per advice ng sister ko..

Captain_A · February 2019

@boogie789
sa naalala ko need mo lng gawin before BM ay;

-cfo
-plane tix
-printed visa grant notice
-prepare your drivers license for conversion
-open account (pwede sya kahit overseas)
-accommodation if wala pa
-appropriate clothes depende sa season at location
-enough budget lalo if with kids (look for better forex rates)
-take note of all things banned by AU customs/immigration like food, etc (though random check lng to)
-try n din magsend ng job applications
-mag avail services na expensive dito like dental etc

ivandemarco · February 2019

Tried to open a bank account sa NAB .. pero via appointment . Then hinahanap nila ung boarding pass sa plane so babalik n lng tlga kmi sa friday .

caienri · February 2019

@ivandemarco yes. Need ng appointment passport boarding pass phone number.

barbedwire · February 2019

Hi guys, question po sa mga nagBM at magbBM, paano po kayo namili ng target state or suburb nyo po?

caienri · February 2019

@barbedwire sakin, since wla ako kamag anak or close friend anywhere, yung mga friends ko pinakilala ako sa mga friends nila. Karamihan nasa sydney. Tapos may isa sa knila may available na room. So dun ko napili. Para kahit papano, kakilala ng kakilala ko. Pero sinabi ko rin na may possibility na lumipat, depende sa work na makukuha.

madatory kaya yun AU tel number? Pede kayang SG number muna. Kasi naisip ko IE lang kame. E yung phone number gagamitin as token. Kun bibili man kame ng AU prepaid baka mag expire kasi matagal tagal pa BM namen. So baka wala kameng way para sa token kun AU number. kaya parang iniisip ko baka pedeng retain muna yun SG number. May nakatry na ba nito?

Thanks

caienri · February 2019

@flaming_vines kelan ba kau mag BM? Kasi halimbawa bumili ka ng prepaid, khit walang load, it will last for about 5 months before you lose your number. Pede mo din nmn i retain yung same number kahit magpalit ka ng provider once you move for good.
Mejo hnd ko gets yung token part.
Pero wait tau sa sasabihin ng iba if na try na nila using SG number.
Kumuha din ako agad ng local number para mag apply ng work and may mga tumawag na rin kahit nasa sg pa.

flaming_vines · February 2019

@caienri earliest july e.pede pang lumagpas.so pedeng lumagpas sa 5 months talaga.kasi parang may nagreply sa query ko dito dati na sa au number isend un sms otp.same as posb or dbs.
si agd ata nagreply saken dati.so worry ko kun niregister ko un au number then nagexpire na baka inde na ko makaonline transaction sa NAB account. Kaya naiisip ko e kun pede maintain muna sg number sa records ng NAB. Yun sa au number naman pede ako mag register sa skype kun may tatawag mang employer

barbedwire · February 2019

@caienri thanks sa input

Parang halos same tayo ng situation. Solo din magBM. Although may kakilala sa AU, pero di ganun kaclose.

Kaya iniisip ko paano magdecide kung saan ok magstay pag nagBM. :-?

Sa suburb ba na mas mababa ba ang cost of living pero less job opening o sa mga CBD. Sa NSW, VIC at QLD ba o sa WA at SA.

caienri · February 2019

@flaming_vines
Inquire mo na lang cguro directly sa nab if okay lang na sg number gamitin.
Yung sakin kasi, nab account, savings mode lang talaga muna before moving. So wala nmn necessary transactions using OTP kc puro deposit lang nmn muna ginawa ko.
actually kc pede mo nmn top up ung prepaid online kahit nga $10 lang, kahit once lang, say on the 4th month to continue the service for another 5 months.
I recommend kc andami kong pinaggamitan ng mobile number even before moving. Kahit nung nagupdate ako sa kung saan saan sa pinas at sg (bank, credit car, insurance, etc)
Sa mga forms (medicare, etc) kelangan mo rin if aasikasuhin nyo na to during IE, mas convenient lang sa opinyon ko na meron n kau local number.

caienri · February 2019

@barbedwire
Share ko sayo mga kinonsider ko:
1. Sa Sydney aq nag IE and nagustuhan ko xa since somehow similar ng Singapore so hnd aq maxado mag aadjust sa lifestyle
2. Hnd ako marunong mag drive so kelangan may efficient public transport
3. Pag tumingin ako sa mga job portals, mas marami talaga opportunities dito, eh yun yung priority ko, cguro pag may experience na, pede mag check sa ibang lugar
4. Weather din. Gusto ko din sana sa melbourne kaso mahina ako sa lamig. Try ko muna winter ng NSW, mas mabait cguro kesa sa VIC. Hehe
List ka ng top states mo. Narrow down your options tapos weigh mo yung mga preferences mo.
Masaya yan!

Ako nmn mejo stress sa job hunting. Nangangapa pa ako sa style dito. Hehe
Pero keeping it positive! God bless sa ating lahat!
