try to book now po, you can chat with the airbnb host via the app and see kung paano arrangements ang available for your family in their place... they can definitely block-in the dates na need nyo avail yung place, mababait naman po yung mga naka-coordinate naming mga airbnb host dito sa AU...
all the best po!

Na nego ko to 300 per week (around 380 ung standard price). 1 bed room unit. Advantage lang talaga aside sa location. Wala nang deposit/bond at pwede umalis anytime. Pero initially nag book ako nang 4 days. Tas after nag negotiate ako for weekly rates.

Kung may account ka na sa AU, transfer ka lang from SG. Or pag magpapalit ka mg aud, jan na sa SG mas malaki ang dollar rate jan kesa dito.. Wag sa airport kasi
Mababa ang rate..

Question lang po pag na invite nsa EOI, Gaano katagal ang processing from ITA to PR VISA grant??? kasi me timeline po kami ni misis dapat next year July 2021 BIG MOVE na!
PLAN A : wait for PR pathway (189/190), Skill work regional (491)

Hmmm iba iba po minsan kung gano katagal. Kami po nakaswerte lang na after lodging ng EOI, 1 month after nakareceive na ng ITA. Tapos from visa lodging naman to visa 189 approval, inabot po ng 9 months 😅
Ngayon po dahil pandemic, parang nakahold ata lahat ng invites.

Just a random question sa mga nag BM na nag undergo ng TB treatment. Did you declare that u have TB dun sa custom immigration card upon arrival? Did u check yes or no. Kasi ang question na nakita kl sa card is "do you have TB?" technically No kasi magaling na but did u answered yes?

Di ko na experience ito...
Pero sa palagay ko ang answer is no, kung wala ka na tb at present. kasi ang tanong is 'do you have tb?' Hindi naman 'did you have tb?'

Pag meron ka na AU mobile number at long term address. Sing-up ka sa mygov. Pwede yung TFN. For Medicare, kailangan kasi e print, sign, and scan yung forms. Yung Centerlink, hindi ko na try -- pumunta ako sa centerlink mismo after quarantine to apply. Hope this helps.

Not worth it. Hintayin mo nlang yung assessment. If it turns out negative outcome sayang yung extra fee na binayad mo. If its positive outcome, you still have to wait a little bit longer for the states to open their occupation list. Is your occupation in the critical skills of any states?
