hello po guys malapit n po kme mgbm, march 20. tnong ko lng po, plan po ksi nmin ihahatid lng po muna kme magiina ng asawa ko sa aus. tas babalik p cy ng sg. my ngsb kc skn n mgbabayad dw ng tax asawa ko kc mllman ng centrelink n my overseas income sya.

ang sb ko db considered un as initial entry plng. ako ung prng ibang ngbbm n ngresign kunwre tas my baon ng pnggastos sa aus. tas ung asawa ko nmn ung sample ng mga nginitial entry muna tas bumalik muna ng sg, then after 1 year sk ngBM.

sb ko s pagkakaintindi ko kasi maaactivate lng ang benefits once n my aus income n. hindi pnmn nmin cclaim e. ang plano lng nmin mkpgschool n ung mga bata at mkpgsettle sk sya susunod.

my nakausap po ko n gnun gnw 2011 hinatid pmilya bumalik KL then after 5 months sk ngBM. wala nmn dw cyng tax. tas sb skin idedeclare lng daw ang sg sk aus income ng 2020 mix income. pero ang taxable e aus lng dw.

any idea po o info bk my friends po kyo n my nakaexperience dn.

thanks po in advance

Nung nag initial entry kami nung 2018 hindi pa kami nag apply for Centrelink, TFN etc. Then umuwi ng pinas at nag work pa for almost a year bago nag BM ng January 2019. Wala ako binayarang tax. Nagka tax lang ako nung nag wowork na ako dito.

Tingin ko, if may TFN ka na or yung asawa mo then need na mag file ng tax eh idedeclare mo/niyo yung income niyo abroad at matataxan yun. Combination of income abroad at dito ang ififile niyo if ever.

Tska tama si superluckyclover, mukang hindi na kayo eligible sa FTB need niyo ata mag stay muna ng 2 years bago maka claim and may minimum salary lang ata din pde makapag claim un. Not sure ah. kasi kami nung last year may na claim pa since yung salary for the whole financial year ko eh maliit lang kasi ilang months nalang yun. Then for the whole financial year ngaun since buong taon na, eh hindi na kami eligible

Matanong ko lang bakit ayaw niyo na mag sabay ng asawa mo? baka naman makahanap agad siya work dito edi hindi na kelangan bumalik pa ng SG.

Got our grant last Feb 13 .... hindi pa rin nagsisink in until now sa akin
Anyways, we plan our big move in Adelaide earliest would be June or July. We have until Feb 2021 pa naman to make the initial entry.

Meron bang makapagprovide ng checklist ng mga things to do/bring/etc.

Thanks in advance!

Things to bring:

Pulvoron
Peach mango pie
Tabo hirap mag hugas pwet walang bidet. hahahaha

Joke lang po. Visa grant letter lang para sa immigration sa pinas, pag dating dito passport lang titignan.

mcril22 · February 2020

Guys help. During application then na grant kami yung apelido ni misis sa passport ay yung nong dalaga pa sya. napag isip isip namen na mas mabuti na irenew ngayun (to change name nadin/ 2021 expiry) para pag dating sa australia yun na yung gagamitin. and no need to redo sa pag register/ name change sa mga applications sa ozl like medicare and centrlink.

**Pano po mag upload ng new details sa immiaccount pag nag name change si misis para sa BM namen eh wala problema. Thanks all!

congrats to you too @tesu ... yeah, I came across a similar discussion and spoke with a few PR friends who are already in Australia and gave birth there. Most of them are saying the following things:

If Born there, then the baby will acquire citizenship at birth.
Hospitable bills will be covered by the government/medicare or in other words giving birth is for free as long as it is in the a public system. (Not sure about this yet and hopefully someone can confirm.)
fly to australia as soon as possible as it's not safe and healthy for the baby. they say 4 to 5 months is allowed to fly.

Confirmed po about medical na halos wala ka babayaran. May friend kami ma both PR dyan nanganak so automatic citizen yung baby nila, parking fee lang binayaran.

Another friend's partner (both PR) inoperahan and same, parking fee lang binayaran.

May isa din kami friend na nagbakasyon parent(tourist visa) pero nagka problem sa puso so, inoperahan. Worried yung friend namin kasi di fully covered ng insurance yung procedure so kinausap nila admin ng hospital. Sabi sa kanila, wag mag worry and ang alalahanin is yung recovery ng parent nya. Kung gusto daw nila, yung hospital bill ng parent nya is bayaran in installment. Maayos experiences nila with regards to medical care sa Australia.

Hello.. I gave birth in Canberra. Flew there when I was 35 to 36 weeks pregnant. Gave birth at a public hospital, Cs. We paid nothing. All covered by medicare. Mas maganda pa yun hospital kesa sa St lukes. All my pre natal check ups are free. My son is citizen na.

Eto yung nakakatuwa sa Australia at nakakalungkot sa pinas. Dito health mo ang priority tska na isipin ang bayarin. Sa pinas bayad ka muna kundi mamatay ka. (

i can attest to #2
no bills kami sa public hospital, service and facilities are superb. parking lang binayaran ko.
they will make sure na baby and wife are safe before discharge and never mentioned about fees or bills.

we felt really well taken cared of.

given na PR kayo.

wow! this is good news. I'm a bit worried talaga sa bills. all though may insurance naman asawa ko dito sa uae , but i don't know if it will be enough.

by the way, wala pa kaming work dalawa. libre pa din ba?
