Things to do First

Below is a list of 7 important things that you should do as soon as possible after arriving in Australia.

Do this first. To receive an income in Australia, you need a Tax File Number (TFN).

2. Register with Medicare

The Australian Government provides help with basic medical expenses through a scheme called Medicare.

3. Open a bank account

In Australia, most income including salary or wages and government benefits are paid directly into a bank account.

Access to the AMEP is extended to some temporary visa holders as specified in the legislative instrument for 'English Courses for Holders of Certain Temporary Visas'.

You can study English with the AMEP for up to 510 hours or until you reach functional English, whichever comes first.

You should register for classes within six months of the date your visa commences and start classes within one year. You will have five years to complete classes. These timeframes may be extended in particular circumstances.

    fyi lang:
    There's a lot of credit (even those debit visa) card fraud sa anz.
    A lot of system bugs/glitches sa nab kaya madalas nagkakaroon ng shutdown ang system nila. These big 4 banks (cba, westpac, nab, anz) are like central processing hubs, pag nag shut down ang isa, madadamay yung iba.
    st. george has already been acquired by westpac. pero they still continue to operate as a sub.
    Nung nagkaroon ng interest rate cuts, CBA was the first to respond to implement sa mga customers, then Westpac. anz were third and medyo nagmamatigas pa rin ang nab.
    Watch kayo ng news to see how many bad news ang na report sa nab.

    Cguro personal choice na lang at kung saan may advantages ng marami ang pipiliin mostly ng customer, kung saan sila magba bangko, pero kung naunang mag respond ang CBA in favor of their customers mukhang mas ok sa kanila.

    Or you can spread your risk by having 2 bank accounts. You can inform your payroll to deposit 50% on 1 bank account or do a 75-25% division, etc. I use cba and hsbc.

    I have a question regarding first/initial entry in Australia.. Do you know where to locate in the website if you can go back to Phils after initial entry? I mean, is it required that when you land there, you won't go back to Phils for 5 years to get your citizenship?

    Thanks!

    @Katlin, eto yung residency calculator: https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/citz/startIntervalCalc.do. Unfortunately, down sya. :( Anyway, as far as I can remember you can still go back to the Phils after initial entry and up to 90 accumulated days ka pwede wala sa AU to be eligible for citizenship. Anyway, let's confirm once the site is up.

    An initial entry is required to validate your 5-year permanent resident. After validation, or after staying 1 day in Australia, you can go back to the philippines. No one can stop you.

    For citizenship - you are required to accumulate 36 months (consecutive or non-consecutive) of stay in Australia in 4 years and should stay there 9 months straight for the last year before applying for citizenship.

Yung allowance ba na yun binibigay kahit na may stable job yung parent ng child? tsaka yung 6K na yun monthly? nacurious lang ko. :)

    thats not good idea mate... kahit may suporta ang gobyerno di pa rin sapat yun. kapag nasimulan yan habang buhay kana naka dipende sa gobyerno mahirap ka pa rin. di ka puedeng humahanap ng trabaho na lalaki ang sahod mo kasi may maximum gross of income total ng asawa mo. di ka puede lumapas kundi bawas ang suporta saiyo. o kaya di kana eligible. paanu na lang kung nag iba ang batas at ibinababa ang amount ng allowance sa mga anak at kung nandaya naman di habang buhay ganyan. marami pasaway na ganyan.

    Mabuti na yung may family Planning para may chance umangat ang status pamumuhay ninyo.

    cheers.

    I'm telling you mate mahirap kapag marami kayo sa isang pamilya. buti kung you earn good salary. ang mahirap dito ay kung sino titingin sa mga anak mo while in your work. Kaya usually ang mga moms dito part time job sila while ang mister full time work. palitan ang pagsundo at hatid sa mga anak. Dito wala kang kasambahay o katulong dito. kaya yung ibang pinapapunta nila ang mga magulang nila o kapatid to look for their kids.

    anyway thats my opinion sa nakikita ko dito. its up to you. you have a free will. you can decide what good for you. cheers man.

    ahh okay. thanks mate. I'll keep that in mind. matagal tagal pa naman bago ko mag asawa. pero may allowance man o wala.. gusto ko talaga big family. dalawa lang kasi kami ng kapatid ko.. at medyo malungkot. pagbubutihan ko na lang work ko para masupport sila maayos. :)
    I'm telling you mate mahirap kapag marami kayo sa isang pamilya. buti kung you earn good salary. ang mahirap dito ay kung sino titingin sa mga anak mo while in your work. Kaya usually ang mga moms dito part time job sila while ang mister full time work. palitan ang pagsundo at hatid sa mga anak. Dito wala kang kasambahay o katulong dito. kaya yung ibang pinapapunta nila ang mga magulang nila o kapatid to look for their kids.

    anyway thats my opinion sa nakikita ko dito. its up to you. you have a free will. you can decide what good for you. cheers man.
    thank you ulit @TotoyOZresident. 4 kids okay na ko. :) wag lang talaga dalawa. thanks ulit. :)
    pre mahirap ang marami. tingnan mo muna kung kaya ng sahod mo suportahan ang mga anak mo.

    add klang po..last month i read some news and it say's na some u.s state is not already giving allowance to unemploy person/family due to financial problem in u.s economy,there some politician debating kung pwede bang bigyan ng expiration ang pagbibigay ng allowance sa mga unemplyment say,2,3,or 5 months after that wla na silang makuha na allowances from goverment..so it really depends prin sa economiya and the law that it makes...so d pa rin pwedeng mkadepende sa goverment ...just my thoughts..

    "god thank you for everything!!!!!1

    ^true, similar din dito sa au. Isa ata sa mga proposed next year is to cut child support to increase the tax generated to bring back the fed budget to surplus.

    US at Europe crisis kaya naapektuhan kaunti ang Australia. Malakas pa rin ang economy ng australia pero syempre Nagiingat at nag hahanda ang gobyerno kaya nagbawas ng kaunti ang budget dipende din yan sa state. Dito sa ACT binawasan kaunti ang infrastructure budget in 2012 pero nilakihan nman nila yung budget sa heath.

    too bad sa mga nagplaplano magkaroon ng maraming anak. Mag family planning dapat.

    cheers
