    Medicare complements with the Private Health Insurance each Australians have...At hindi exaggeration yun kasi mas malaki binabayad nila sa Medicare kung walang sariling insurance ang tao sa Australia...

    Another good thing about the country is it also disciplines its citizens to be self reliant...they have the voluntary superannuation, the mandatory private health insurance and tax filing...

    If people will do their part in taking care of themselves, then the government funds is not stretched too thinly (as is what's happening with our government because too many people are reliant to social securities and dole outs)

    Isa sa mga hindi ko nagustuhan dito sa Australia is, most of the time walang respeto ang mga drivers sa pedestrian. Kahit naka go signal ang walking light, hindi humihinto yung mga driver hangang wla ka sa driving path nila.

    Sensya na sa rant of the day.

    Ang pagkaka-alam ko sa 457 at sa 175, medical exam is 2nd to the last step. It usually take mga 1 month then meron ka ng feedback para magpatatak ng visa (last step).

    Nice job, saan dito sa Aus ka ma-aasign?

    Most probably, kasi wla pa naman akong naririnig na na-deny ang visa after medical unless a person has hiv or tb. Tska yung medical exam may expiry, i think kailangan nasa kanila na yung result within 2 months dapat.

    Maganda dun sa melbourne, hindi ko pa na experience yung 4 season (winter, spring, summer, rain, hail, etc.) sa isang araw. Tska natutunaw daw yung mga electrical cable sa summer sa sobrang init. hehe.

    Goodluck, pagdating ng dec/jan may visa ka na.

    importante honest ka sa pag fill up ng medical form exam. pag nakita na may problema ka. i re-refer ka sa specialist for final check up. then the CO will give you form for signature na you agree with the immigration and the australia government na magpapa check up ka sa public hospital sa australia. every 6 months ang regular check up hangang gumaling ka. Libre naman ang public hospital dito wala kang babayaran pag Permanent resident ka. medicare card. cheers

    Sa mga bundok na town/city ng NSW at Victoria nag-snow. Kaya mabenta yung mga ski resort dun pag winter season june/july periods. Pero kung ski ang habol mu, go to new zealand mas sulit pa dun.

    Meron din snow dito sa brisbane, mga malalaking ice cubes na nakakasira ng mga windshield ng kotse, normal occurence yan dito, hehe.

    Depende kung saang line of work ka. Pag client facing - suit up or one level up sa client mu. pag back end like sys admin, dba, ops - maong, tshirt. friday is casual pero pag may client and meetings, no choice suit up or at least may tie pero depende sa work culture na papasukan mu may iba masyadong professional (ex. consulting companies, banks) so no choice kailangan shirt with tie at the minimum. Don't worry may dress code policy na i-brief sau before ka mag-start sa work.

    Not me, pero si misis yes, pag may gusto syang tingnan ang comment nila "mahal yan", baka akala nila can't afford kami. bastards. pero yung mga friends ko sa sydney, talamak daw ang discrimination sa workplace nila, mag-usap lang sila ng konting tagalog, papagalitan na sila, kahit na nasa loob sila ng conference room-wtf. Good thing, hindi ako nagtratrabaho dun.

    sa job hunting, na experience ko not really racial discrimination pero uso dito yung kakilala at palakasan. Talo na tayo jan.

    May possibility kasi na ma-employ ako sa Business Analyst therefore i'll meet clients, is it enough to wear long sleeves and tie or should I wear COAT AND TIE? Nag-work kasi ako sa Tokyo at sobrang strict sila sa dress code. Lahat kami naka-coat and tie. Hindi pwede ang long sleeves lang.

    I am rugged type of person kasi, mas gusto ko tshirt lang at maong pants lang, so kung Sys admin, or Analyst programmer or developer ang job ko, pwede palang rugged lang ang suot ko. Thanks.

    7. Masarap sa winter kasi kahit hindi ka maligo for 1 month hindi ka mangangamoy =) Also, hindi mu kailangan mag-iron kasi naka sweater and winter jacket ka madalas (tipid sa oras). Mabilis magpapayat pag winter kasi yung chilling effect sa katawan nangangailangan ng maraming calories to burn basta excercise lang kahit light in 30minutes/day.

    Davidx23, Kaya po pala yung mga nasa winter countries pag nasa tropical country nagbakasyon may dalang ibang amoy pag nainitan at nagpawis, he he he joke!!!

    kung meet mo ang client baka coat and tie ka. pero usually code dress dito long sleeve at slack pants staka pag friday dito puede casual pero dipende sa line of work. sa engineering firm ako work usually casual yung mga lower position while mga design engineers project manager yung mga na ka long sleeve pero minsan khaki yun pantalon. sa office bihira sila mag jeans mga at ang mga asian lang ang mahilig mag jeans sa work.

    usually din ang mga estudyante lang nman mahilig mag jeans ngayun summer karamihan na estudyante naka short jeans

    dito naman walang problema kung fasionable ka kahit mainit sa summer di ka agad pagpapawisan dahil dry dito hindi agad mangingitim ang kwelyo mo na damit.

    Not sure, pero meron naman siguro. Ganun na talaga ang culture dito, the oposite is also true sa mga ibang races for example sa china town mas nakakakuha daw ang mga chinese nationals ng better deal compare sa mga australian. And if you're middle eastern national, mas mkaka-discount ka sa mga jewelry store ng mga arab shops sa sydney. Pero bakit nung pinakyaw ko na yung bananacue dun sa filipino karinderia (11 yung tinda pero 10 lang yung kaya ng pera ko) hindi na binigay sa kin yung nag-iisa. Suki naman ako pero wla, hayz.

    Generally, it's safe naman. Some minor exceptions:
    -Friday/Saturday night medyo iwas ng konti sa mga bar/pub kasi karaniwan na yung mga away dun.
    -Lately madaming nakawan tuwing madaling araw dun sa gold coast tska mga robbery sa mga fast food joints.
