Hello @quantum & @ms_ane you may find this useful.

Major Banks in Australia
1. Commonwealth Bank of Australia

2. Westpac
https://www.westpac.com.au/personal-banking/bank-accounts/moving-to-australia/
3. ANZ
https://www.anz.com.au/personal/bank-accounts/moving-to-australia/en/
4. NAB
https://www.nab.com.au/personal/banking/migrant-banking

I attached a comparison of the Big Four Banks from https://www.finder.com.au/savings-accounts/big-four-banks.

Which is the best bank in Australia?
There's no one bank that is 'best', and choosing which bank to go with with depend on you individual needs. Here's some points of difference among the Big Four that may help you decide which is best for you.

1. CommBank. Largest ATM network in Australia and the largest bank in terms of market capitalisation.
2. NAB. Has the only bank account (out of The Big Four) that doesn't charge monthly account keeping fees.
3. Westpac. Has the largest overseas ATM network, allowing you to access more than 50,000 global ATMs fee-free through the Westpac Global ATM Alliance.
4. ANZ. Only Big Four bank to offer Apple Pay (correct as of March 2018)

Just asking lang po kapag BIG MOVE po ba ay permanently moving from Philippines-Australia? BIG MOVE din po ba ang tawag kahit temporary working visa holder (2yrs)? Let me enlighten sa BM term. Salamat

ms_ane · April 2019

@Von_Vasquez I think whether you intend to stay longer or shorter sa AU, one can safely use the term BM upon transitioning. Same same lang din kasi ang mga activities that we need to go through, decisions to finalize and so on. Syempre for those na talagang long term would involve mas madaming preparation but then again maraming common denominator tayo dito when it comes to shifting our life from where we are now and going to AU in the near future

The term BM is not restricted to the visas we have acquired. The term itself just explains na we are moving. Medyo overwhelming and matrabaho - all of us will go through the same thing

Von_Vasquez · April 2019

@ms_ane Salamat po sa explanation. Kakalodge lang kasi ng visa (482) ko April 11 then nagmedical ako April 22. Hopefully magrant na yung visa ko and makapag BIG MOVE narin sa Sydney soon.

ms_ane · April 2019

@Von_Vasquez congrats sa iyo and best of luck sa preparations

ms_ane · May 2019

anyone here na nag IE sa Melbourne tapos nagpunta din ng Sydney? Ok lang ba yun?

Cassey · May 2019

@ms_ane It’s all good. You can go wherever you want to go as long as you have a valid visa and looking at your signature, you can live whichever State you prefer.

ms_ane · May 2019

@Cassey thanks cassey! nag ooa kasi tong mga boys ko gusto din mag Sydney. medyo ataters hahaha! salamat

Cassey · May 2019

@ms_ane No worries. It’s totally understandable, hehe Punta kayo ng Sydney, you won’t be disappointed.

PinoyMech · May 2019

@caienri Thank you! Nag PDOS na po ako! Malaking bagay sya since dami nlang reminders before and leaving pinas. Although may mga questions lang po ako regards dun sa mga documents na inaadvice nla at kung inaaply nyo po b sya before leaving pinas:

1. Kailngn pba ired ribbon ung mga following documents below as per advice ng PDOS: Xe po ung Academic qualifications ko plang npa redribbon ko.
a. Birth certificate from NSO
b. Academic qualifications (diploma, school report cards, TOR)
c. Employment Certificate and references from previous employers
d. Health and medical records
e. Financial documents (bank statement)

2. Ung PRC license b dpat irenew ko pa sa pinas pra kpag ngapply ng job? may bearing ba sya?
3. Ung driver's license kailngan b ikuha ng certification sa LTO at ipa red ribbon din pra daw mdali mkakuha ng license sa sydney xe hindi kna daw pageexamin ng iba nla requirement if kuha ka ng license dun? Gnu ktgal and cost inabot nyo sa process n ito?

barbedwire · May 2019

IE ko na mamaya sa Melbourne, nakakakaba!

Meron po ba dito na nagentry sa Avalon airport? Meron po bang separate entrance yung mga first time entry na migrants?

Parang nakita ko po kasi dati separate yung sa Sydney (not sure).

Thanks!

caienri · May 2019

@PinoyMech congrats!
1. Red ribbon - HINDI ko kinailangan based sa experience ko ha. All documents needed dapat certified true copy of the original. If I were you, magpa photo copy ka then pa notaryo mo LAHAT ng documents. At least isang kopya.
2. PRC - as a licensed teacher, NEVER na credit ang PRC ko either Singapore or Sydney. Not sure lang sa ibang fields with PRC license.
3. License - hindi ko masagot kasi wala ako nito.

caienri · May 2019

@barbedwire congratulations!!!

zach@052019 · May 2019

@barbedwire Avalon airport kami, maliit lang ang airport nila. No worries mabilis lang ang proseso kasi iilan lang ang flights nila doon. God bless!

ynnej09 · May 2019

@caienri hello! Your advise is so helpful. Yung mga notarised copies ang sinubmit po ninyo? Thank you & congrats to your BM

caienri · May 2019

@ynnej09 nagamit ko notarized copies sa maraming bagay - from submission for visa application to job hunting (depende to sa company) pati na rin courses if gusto nyo mag aral... and registration sa professional field (teacher)

Dala lang ng extra although pede din nmn dito.
Less stress lng and to save time...

ynnej09 · May 2019

@caienri thank you so much :-) May God bless you always! Goodluck

@gabrielle · May 2019

Hello guys! Currently preparing for our big move this june. Mejo challenge pala maghanap ng lilipatan lalo na pag family.

Just wanna ask baka meron dito o knows someone who has a spare room to rent. We're a family of 3 (with 1 yr old) looking to migrate to Melbourne. Preferably locations near bus stop or trains for easy transport.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

carlosau · May 2019

@gabrielle Same situation except that I am doing BM by myself muna, pag may work na saka dalhin family.

zach@052019 · May 2019

@gabrielle Been there, i was pregnant back then and no one seem to help. Im glad merong tumulong na small family din. Would like to pay it forward. PM me, we have two extra rooms for your family to stay while waiting for a job.
