BIG MOVE 2019

ms_ane · August 2019

@quantum kapatid ewan ko lang din sa experience ng iba ha, pero sa pagka alala ko nung sakin yung nag assist samin sa Centrelink ang nag create ng account ko for myGov. baka naman pede din tayo na nagkataon lang na mega helpful yun nag assist sakin. Try to log in and see if you can set up on your own.

xiaolico · August 2019

@quantum Puwede before. Ako sa pinas ako gumawa hehe. Puwede din kasi mag hanap ng work dun

Kelan po need magcreate ng myGov account? Pwede naba bago pumunta medicare/centrelink

quantum · August 2019

@arcsump thank you,
Saturday: nakapasok naman kami sa sydney airport ng walang prob. Basta dineclare lang namin lahat and nagask lang sila, di na nila binuksan mga luggage. Then 5 hours drive to ACT ganda ng view and ang lamig..

Sunday: Dipa kami bumili sim sa airport, mahal daw dun. Since nakokontak naman namin thru messenger mga relatives, dito sa ACT mall na kami kumuha. We opt to register sim sa vodafone, worth $45 monthly with unli call and txt, 100 mins international call, 30GB internet pero x 2 daw so 60GB na but ninote nya na unlimited in reality kc no additinal charges for additional data we just need to slow the speed. Pero 60GB hindi ko cguro mauubos yan, and since every 21st ang cut off, free daw ung Aug 11-21 na nagamit namin, so ang babayran plang namin na period is Aug 21-Sept 20 which is due pa after 2 weeks ng cut off so Oct na un. No cash out, with 5% discount in total kc 2 sim ang kinuha namin.

@ms_ane Ang una naming naasikaso sa 1st Monday namin is NAB bank account, dahil naapply ko na online medyo mabilis nalang process. Kaso joint ang account na nirequest namin, ang expectation namin based sa welcome letter sa email nila is for pick up na dapat kahapon din ung mga ATM debit card but for unknown reason daw di nila malocate kung nasan ung card nung aswa ko. So di rin muna binigay ung sakin. Request daw sila to create ulit, this thurs daw idedeliver sa bahay. Mabilis ang processing halos 30 mins including cash dep.

For medicare, nakapag register narin kami, less than 30 mins lang may binigay na temp card. Same office lang sila ng centrelink. But for centrelink, kami lang dalawa ng asawa ko ang may CRN. Di pa nila niregister ung daughter, may waiting time daw na 12 months for FTB B, so balik daw kami after 12 mos. pero sabi ni @zach@052019 basta gawin ko lang myGov account ko meron daw yan macclaim. So un ang next step @xiaolico nakapagcreate nako kagabi ang next na gagawin ko is ilink mga ATO, centrelink, medicare etc sa myGov Account ko.

After nun kumuha kami ng ACT Proof of Identity Card worth $7 para magkaroon ng valid id. super bilis ng service dito grabe maninibago ka..haha ako pa natranta kc kakapasok lang and kakakuha palang ang application form and number tinatawag na agad number mo eh di pa ko nakafill up..10 mins lang in total kuha mo na agad ung card with pic, address and bday

Nakapunta na rin kami sa school ng daughter namin nung hapon na un, nagpasa reqts and need mag enroll online difo. Since kadarating lang namin at wla pang proof of residence kc wla pang dumarating na letter from bank, medicare centrelink and nakikitira pa kami sa relatives namin, in addition for our proof of identity card (kc andun address namin) & contract sa vodafone need din magsubmit ng stat dec ung tito ko attesting na nakatira kami sa kanila. So today, may appointment ung daughter namin sa school i think for the assessment.

So yes, tama sinasabi nila na kayang iprocess lahat sa isang araw dito dahil sa sobrang bilis ng service nila.

Hello! Anong marefer niyo na courier for balikbayan box papuntang AU? Ipapadala muna namin kasi mga gamit namin dun sa house ng relative ko.

mycroft_holmes · August 2019

@ms_ane kamusta na? Padalhan mo naman ako ng Bee Hoon at Moon Cake. Hehehe.

Medyo i-detail ko sagot para na rin sa iba.

They’re two same purpose ID’s but provided by different “authorities”.
Keypass - Post Office
Proof of Age - VCGLR

Yan inexplain sakin sa AU Post. Either one is okay naman daw, though you can apply for both.

Sakin Proof of Age inapply ko pa lang. Nakakatuwa yung ID may nakalagay na Victoria Australia sa pinakataas. Na-feel ko pagiging Aussie. Hehe

Eto Steps (medyo tedious):

1. Fill out application form. You can get it from photo point agencies like Vic Roads, AU Post, etc.

Dun sa form need na pumirma dun yung Referee. Siya yung person na kakilala mo (for not less than 1 year, legal age and taga VIC) to certify na you’re 18 years old.

So kung meron ka na form papirmahan mo na sa kanya before you proceed to Step 2. Kung wala better kasama mo siya pagkuha ng form para di masayang yung pag punta mo sa Step 2.

I learned this the hard way. Hassle mag commute/maglakad dito hehe. Di pati lahat ng streets / buildings nadadaan ng public transport. Swerte ko nun sinamahan ako ni Tito ko.

2. Bring the form to the “Authorised Person” together with your Category A and Category B docs for verification.

Sa case ko,
Cat A - Phil Passport
Cat B - Learner’s ID

Strict sila dito. ID means with photo, birthday and address. Di ina-accept yung temporary Medicare Card and yung NAB Letter (yung papel). Original dapat. Hinintay ko pa makuha yung learner’s ID bago ako naka-balik sa kanila. Haha. So parang naging redundant na meron na ako nun L’s.

Yung authorised person is either police, pharmacist, etc.

3. Bring the form to Photopoint Agency (VicRoads, AU Post, etc) pay and get your photo taken. Yung ID i-mail nila sa permanent address mo.

Another important thing, yung mga ID (medicare, L’s, proof of age, etc.) naka engrave din yung permanent address mismo sa ID. So as much as possible kung yung i-lalagay na address sa form ay permanent na. Kung temp. accommodation, gamitin muna address ng kakilala or kamag anak. Pwede naman papalitan eventually.

Hope this helps. Goodluck sa BM and pag alsa balutan sa SG.

@mycroft_holmes kapatiddddd! kamusta ka na dyan! sorry late reply! salamat ng madami sa detailed info at mga heads up, I’ll take note of this!!

ali0522 · August 2019

Meron rin po ba ID like sa VIC sa NSW?

imau · August 2019

hello guys my tanong lng po s mga ns AU na, may classmate ksi kme n ns darwin ns 1 1/2 taon n siya nung nagBM tas Jan sumunod ung baby nila (2 yrs old), sk mister ny (galing Saudi). bago p siya magBM may work n siya, visa 489 pero yung asawa niya nahirapan mghanap (comp eng).

ngayon ang gusto ng mister ny iuwi n ung baby nl s Pinas tas mgSaudi na uli siya. Kasi nga daw ngayon nagzezero zero n sila s financial.

Tanong ko lng po ganun ba talaga? Mas mhirap jan compared sa SG?

meron nmn mga kaibgan kme n ns Melbourne Sydney Brisbane. na okay naman sila. o baka dahil po ba mahirap talaga maghanap? o dahil nga may restriction ung lugar n pede sila mgapply? financially same nmn po db ang rate ng expenses ng SG sk Aus, dikit lng naman.m (tax lng tlg malaki). sb ko nga push lng gnun tlg pgmay family. laban lang.

ngreready lng po kme lalo 3 bagets nmin.

iamkris · August 2019

hello, sa mga naghanap po ng casual jobs , pano po kayo gumawa ng resume at cover letter, nilagay nyo ba kht di relevant yung work exp? balak ko po muna magpart time habang naghahanap ng work para may pangtustos. kakaBM ko lng last month and wala pa ko nkukuha n work. Sa Brisbane po ako. thank you

zach@052019 · August 2019

@iamkris Hello. Congrats on your BM! God will always supply our needs.

Ang turo ng mga kakilala namin dito, always modify your CV. Kung ano ang nasa job description ng gusto mo na work yun ang ilagay mo sa skill, ang mga unrelated skills have to be removed. Noon daw they have 4-6 modified CV depende kung ano ang work na inaapplayan. And good decision yan na mag casual muna kahit ano na job pangtustus ng gastusin. Local experience na rin yan at makapah adjust sa mga locals. God bless your journey

timbangers · August 2019

Doing our big move this coming September 24 going to Melbourne. Excited and nervous at the same time. Last week we did the CFO seminar at Quirino Avenue, Manila. It was a very smooth process and they didn't ask for any document except our passports and visa grants.

iamkris · August 2019

ok. thank you @zach@052019 . gagawin ko yan
