Not sure if applicable sa lahat ng Cert III. My friends are studying commercial cookery and it's government subsidised - minimal fee lang ata yung need bayaran like uniform? I will double check

Arrived here in Melbourne yesterday. Medyo malamig pa din but they are saying it's the start of spring. Here's what I've done so far:

Got australian sim number. Opted for Telstra. Just showed my passport and that's it.

Opened a bank account at NAB. They asked me for the ff:
2 IDs I gave my passport and driver's license
visa grant document
boarding pass or itinerary if you have been here less than 6 months

Applied for TFN. Had to go to a place where somebody assisted me in doing it online. Passport and visa grant document needed

Centrelink. This is where I have a question. The guy I talked to in the office said that for new permanent residents there is a waiting period of 2-4 years of living here before you can apply for Centrelink. I have a subclass 189 and I heard the opposite. Can someone confirm this? Thanks!

Total time spent: less than 2 hours. Tomorrow I will apply for Medicare.

Hi @timbangers , nag try din ako mag register sa Centrelink dito sa Adelaide (since andun na ako registering for Medicare), I was also informed about the waiting period (implying na wag ko na muna apply that time). When you went to the other branch, naka-register ka ba? Ako kasi single kaya siguro yun ang sinabi sakin.

zach@052019 · October 2019

@imau kung may kulang man, sa clinic na lang kayo dito sa oz magpa vaxx libre na rin kasi. Sa medicare account makikita and list ng immunization

imau · October 2019

@zach@052019 sige po salamat po s info. malaking bagay n bawas na s iisipin.

helaena · October 2019

Hello po, kakagrant lang po ng PR namin last 25th of Sept. May nakalagay info sa visa grant regarding Polio Vaccine. Need po ba na magpa Polio vaccine before mag initial entry sa Australia? Hahanapan po ba kami ng proof of immunisation ng IMMigration?

Noodles12 · October 2019

@imau pag nag enroll kayo sa school hahanapan kayo ng immunisation record history pero iaaccept naman kayo ng school kahit wala pa nun. sabihin niyo lang na new migrant.

Para magka immunisation record history mga anak niyo... una na asikasuhin niyo is ung medicare, then punta lang kayo sa GP sabihin niyo na mag uupdate kayo ng immunisation record ng mga anak niyo. Dalhin niyo lang ung baby book nila or record nung mga vaccine na meron na sila.

Noodles12 · October 2019

@helaena ano po yung specific na nakalagay about polio vaccine? I think hindi naman kayo hahanapan ng proof ng vaccine unless may bagong rule.

Pede din naman dito na kayo mag pa vaccine ng mga kulang na vaccine sa anak niyo once may medicare na kayo.

imau · October 2019

@Noodles12 thank you po s info. buti hnd ko n pprblemahn p pgumuwi stin

carlosau · October 2019

Share ko lang. Finally did the Big Move last 2 weeks ago. The plan was I'll do the BM and my wife and son will have their IE. Kakahatid ko lang kanina sa kanila sa airport and my heart shattered to pieces. Minsan naiisip ko if tama ba tong decision na mag migrate. Currently looking for a job right now and medyo matumal ang interviews. Konting encouragement naman dyan, friends. I'm really sad right now.

ms_ane · October 2019

boss @carlosau ganyan lamang sa umpisa and isipin mo nalang ang long term outcome ng sakripisyo natin bilang magulang. Totoong di biro ang mag migrate, pero isipin mo nalang, napaka swerte mo na at nakalusot ka na sa butas ng karayom (lalo na ngayon na naghihigpitan na) - konting push nalang sa paghahanap ng work and before you know it, makakapiling mo na din ang mag ina mo. Saludo ako sa tapang mo, hindi lahat kaya yan kaya laban lang tayo!! Godbless sa iyo boss wag mawawalan ng pag asa at magdasal ng walang patid

superluckyclover · October 2019

Hi @carlosau, worth it ang lahat ng ating sakripisyo. 2015 nung iniwan ko din ang family ko, I am still nursing my then 3-year old son. ginamit ko yung first year ko sa Australia para matuto mag drive, mag network sa ibang tao, maghanap ng support group... kaya nung dumating na ang mag-ama ko, para na talaga kong local, hindi nahirapan ang husband ko at anak na mag adjust! Basta enjoy lang at laging positive...challenging sya pero yan yung babalikan mo 5 years from now, tapos matatawa ka nalang pag naaalala mo mga ganap today.

Sa work, tandaan mo na every No means a YES to a better opportunity! Basta keep improving, laging sabihin na I am willing to learn!! Gustong gusto ng mga Aussie yan! Good luck sa job hunting!!! Kayang kayang mo yan, we believe in you!

juliatheambitiousoul · October 2019

@carlosau keep yourself busy para di ka malungkot and keep an open mind. Tiis tiis lang and you'll be reunited with them soon. While waiting for a job offer, research ka about sa field mo.

carlosau · October 2019

Thank you guys for your encouragement. Nandito ako nakitira sa friends ko, medyo nakakahiya pero kelangan din. Mas gusto ko sana magbayad pero ayaw nila ako pagbayarin. Alam ko tinulungan din sila dati kaya pag ok na ako dito I'll pay it forward too.

yosh10 · October 2019

@carlosau welcome to Australia sir! I think halos lahat dito ay may pinagdaanan na hirap... have faith at malalagpasan niyo din yan! goodluck!

Noodles12 · October 2019

@carlosau Sa simula lang yan. All will be worth it tyaga tyaga lang, ganyan din ako nung first couple of weeks ko, buti ka nga may friends na matutuluyan at makakausap. Nung time ko ako lang talaga mag isa. kumakain mag isa, minsan hindi na kumakain buong araw para makatipid, minsan na iiyak sa lungkot pero naging worth it naman lahat. Pag nagka work ka na at nagkaron ng sariling niyong place at kasama mo na family mo for sure masasabi mo sa sarili mo na buti nag decide kayo mag migrate dito. Ako ang naisip ko bakit hindi ko pa ginawa to noon nung mas bata bata pa ako.

Sa pag aapply naman ng work basta pasa lang ng pasa ng resume ako siguro nasa hundreds na pinasahan ko at inapplyan less than 10 lang yung siguro na invite ako ma interview tapos karamihan puro reject na pero sinwerte naman. Darating din yan for sure!

Eto lang masasabi ko.. sa lahat ng nakilala ko dito wala pa akong nakausap na nag sisi na nag migrate sila dito.

frisch24 · October 2019

@carlosau i can't say i feel you when it comes to the family issues, but i can say sa umpisa lang yung sa work. lalo na at iba ang patakaran nila pagdating nila sa work dito, like iba ang resume format, local experience, willingness to work etc. but i would highly suggest na magkaron ka ng malaking network. join IT groups in MeetUp para makakilala ka ng ibang tao, lalo na sa field ng IT. iba kasi kapag referred ka ng someone from inside the company.

Hindi ako sure kung nakapagusap na tayo sa ibang thread, pero ano bang specialization mo as software engineer? anong programming language alam mo?

And san ka pala dito s Aus? Melbourne or Sydney?

superluckyclover · October 2019

@frisch24 napaka helpful mo Melbourne si @carlosau

frisch24 · October 2019

@superluckyclover ah... nainggit, at nalito, kasi ako kay @carlosau sa dami ng invitations n natanggap eh.xP hehe.

carlosau · October 2019

@frisch24 Hello, Full Stack pero Java ako 14 years exp. Maraming interviews pero puro Head Hunter. Wala pa akong direct interview mismo sa company. Eto kakagaling ko lang interview sa Head Hunter.

imau · October 2019

@carlosau @frisch24 hello po. tanong ko lang hindi po ba okay sa headhunter? kapag agency? may iba kasi kaming kaibigan na nakahanap true agency sbi nila wala naman po silang binayaran. any experience po. para alam narin namin gagawin next.
