@era222 iba ka talaga sis! Salamat!

Guys, might be a helpful tip: If may LinkedIn kayo and waiting na kayo ng grant, try to change your location sa state that you'll move into. I did that and I've been getting leads. Transparent lang ako na waiting ako sa grant so can't proceed with the application, but the recruiters I've connected with so far have all offered na I reach out when I get my visa/land so they can help me out.

Not sure lang if this applies to all industries (FYI I am in technology) but good way to network.

Same here! Ginawa ko ito nung nakapag lodge na ako.
Pati sa SEEK iniba ko na yun location ko and naglagay ako ng waiting for visa grant.

So far merong mga recruiter na nag ssave ng profile ko at nag eemail about their opening at ayun nga sabi ko wala pa visa pero email daw ako pag nandoon na at granted na visa.

Technology field din ako.

2.) Medicare – waiting
3.) Drivers Licence transfer – Awaiting exam
4.) White Card – completed
5.) Bank – Commbank, nag open kami 2 weeks before arrival.
6.) Sim Card – Optus sim only plan (39 aud lang 100 GB data, unlimited International call)

Hello @sureball5 April 2nd week din ako nag-apply sa medicare. Mga kelan kaya dadating yung card natin tama ba 4-6 weeks daw inaabot bago dumating card so possible 3rd or 4th week ngayong May bale no? Kailangan ko na kasi ulit magpa-flu vaccine at ang lamig na dito sa Sydney haha. Bukas na kasi mag-eexpire yung flu vaccine ko last year sa Pinas. Tapos regarding Centrelink nagregister ka na ba? Ako kasi hindi pa. Naguguluhan ako kung pwede na ba magregister or hindi pa. Patulong kung alam mo na. Thank you.

Thank you @era222 dito sobrang useful. 3 weeks palang ako sa Sydney kaya medyo lost pa ko sa ibang kailangang gawin buti may ganitong checklist ka laking tulong haha. Although may relatives naman ako dito pero matagal na sila nagmigrate di na sila updated sa mga kailangang gawin. Sa mga susunod na buwan, pag may mga nakuha na kong first-hand knowledge and experience, i-share ko din dito sa group para makatulong din sa iba pa na planning din sa big move nila.

Hello, good day! Question po sana sa mga na-grant na and ni-require din po ng police clearance from Japan or from other countries. We are waiting po for Visa 190 VIC Grant. Japan embassy requires a request letter from the Australian embassy bago daw po kami makapagrequest ng police clearance para sa hubby ko (dependent). Kaya we had to submit muna ung application and wait for the request ng case officer. Fortunately, we receive the request this May 1, 2023 for the Japan police clearance and we are scheduled this Friday sa Japan embassy.

Since it will take 2-3 months para mareceive namin ung japan police clearance upon request, may case na po ba na na-grant ung visa kahit na receipt lang or proof na in-process na ung police clearance ang i-attach sa Immiaccount? OR need talaga nung police clearance bago maibigay ung grant?

Thank you po sa mga sasagot and magshare ng experience nila!

Hindi po nagagrant or i haven't heard someone na nagrant na hindi finalised ung police clearance. They will wait for you to provide it saka lang nila iaassess or grant ung application niyo. Same goes with medicals, they will for you to clear it bago magbigay ng decision.

Heprex · May 2023

@wandergorl @jammyness , welcome to Melbourne. if may questions kayo, let me know.

To add from @era222 tips about Job search. Cover letter makes a difference, it's the best way to express your work ethic and passion. You can also put your visa status sa header ng CV sa job hunting nyo, once may AU companies na kayo sa work history, you can remove it na.

And for interviews, I noticed, based on my experience, If australian ang nag interview, more on qualities/behavioral ang flow ng interview, STAR method, and how you will fit into the team, etc. And if ibang lahi, lalo na pag indian, ang highly technical ng mga questions.

era222 · May 2023

There's a thread for CV and cover letters, 'di na active but bookmark niyo na lang: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/381492

Ung sweldo namn po dito sapat naman sa mga gastos. I think. Unang una naghanap tlaga kami house na about kaya. Pangalawa, bihira po kami kumain sa labas. Nahasa ko ang pagluluto ko dito, unlike sa Sg bili lang kami sa labas. Dito luto tlaga and baon si Mister at anak. Ung mga gala namin dito puro mga park na libre. Damit minsan may mga magaganda rin sa kmart. Kung di kayu maselan sa brand.

Kung maselan sa brand marami sa op shops, venice, iwashing machine niyo nalang. Branded na, mura pa. Maayos naman yung mga nandun, yung mga iba nga, meron pang tag price na hindi nagamit. Yung ayaw lang gamitin, etc.

lunarcat · May 2023

If gusto niyo branded na goods, go to DFO Homebush (outlets ng mga branded or local Aussie brand) or Birkenhead Outlet Fivedock maganda bigayan. Wait for big sales like Black Friday sale and Boxing Day. Expect the queue is mahaba pero grabe sales. Meron din sila Frenzy sale nakalimutan ko kelan. Wag bumili sa seasonal stuff, for example, now mga summer clothes, grabe bagsak ng sales.. So every summer, shop na sa mga winter clothes or para sa malamig na clothes. For gadgets or appliances, JB hifi, Harvey Norman, Good Guys, Mydeal, and Binglee and Kogan. Opt out to using AfterPay, Klarna or Latitude naman for Commbank pero hinay2 lang as gastos nakakaadik lol.. 😆

Meron fb marketplace para sa furniture na kung minsan ay free and bagong labas tuwing friday na pagaagawan pag sabado. Meron rin mga techie, pero siyempre dapat puntahan mo sa mismong lugar and hindi magbayad ng reservation. Maraming scam doon, the best way to do it is personally puntahan siya and unahan siya.

Aldi for grocery needs, kung walang sale sa woolies and coles. woolies and coles sa mga 50% promo sales na narorotate. Better check it online bago pumunta.

Thank you @era222 dito sobrang useful. 3 weeks palang ako sa Sydney kaya medyo lost pa ko sa ibang kailangang gawin buti may ganitong checklist ka laking tulong haha. Although may relatives naman ako dito pero matagal na sila nagmigrate di na sila updated sa mga kailangang gawin. Sa mga susunod na buwan, pag may mga nakuha na kong first-hand knowledge and experience, i-share ko din dito sa group para makatulong din sa iba pa na planning din sa big move nila.

Naka-adjust na po ba kayo sa mga cost ng mga bilihin? haha. Ang hirap pala malaman kung mura or mahal ung binibili

Ung sweldo namn po dito sapat naman sa mga gastos. I think. Unang una naghanap tlaga kami house na about kaya. Pangalawa, bihira po kami kumain sa labas. Nahasa ko ang pagluluto ko dito, unlike sa Sg bili lang kami sa labas. Dito luto tlaga and baon si Mister at anak. Ung mga gala namin dito puro mga park na libre. Damit minsan may mga magaganda rin sa kmart. Kung di kayu maselan sa brand.

Mukha nga din po madidiscover ko ata hidden talents pati na sa pagluluto dahil wala na rin go to karinderias (since di talaga po ako nagluluto sa ph). Bukas ta-try ko po Kmart dahil lagi ko naririnig and into the budget type clothings din po ako haha. Sakto kelangan ko pa ng mga sweaters, heat tech clothes and pjs dahil winter naaaaa.

Naging instant suki narin po pala ako sa Chemist! haha! Ansaya pala haha. Yung nasa cashier nung nalaman na pinay ako binigyan pa ako ng voucher discount ulet pagkabayad

Anyone interested in a big move guide? Specifically for PR, NSW at solo migrants flying from PH ito. Doing my research now and regularly checking this forum for insights/info, so naisip kong i-compile in a document since na-overwhelm ako sa dami nang need isipin, haha. Still a work in progress but sharing in case it helps anyone else: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18jQIdQkr1Rsq_qRxmexUqQwGdJ53Sax8iFKUfbi6fBE/view

Covers pre-departure to getting settled to managing your visa (as an anxious person na solo flight sa migration lol). Note, lahat ng info dito ay checked as of May 2023 and will continue to update it until it's my turn to make the move.

Kung maselan sa brand marami sa op shops, venice, iwashing machine niyo nalang. Branded na, mura pa. Maayos naman yung mga nandun, yung mga iba nga, meron pang tag price na hindi nagamit. Yung ayaw lang gamitin, etc.

Meron fb marketplace para sa furniture na kung minsan ay free and bagong labas tuwing friday na pagaagawan pag sabado. Meron rin mga techie, pero siyempre dapat puntahan mo sa mismong lugar and hindi magbayad ng reservation. Maraming scam doon, the best way to do it is personally puntahan siya and unahan siya.

Aldi for grocery needs, kung walang sale sa woolies and coles. woolies and coles sa mga 50% promo sales na narorotate. Better check it online bago pumunta.

Salamat po ng marami @tigerlance and @lunarcat sa mga guide and life tipid hacks!!! haha Super big help! noted lahat ng mga sinabi niyo.hehe Yung eyes ko nagloglow na tuloy sa mga nakasulat na 1/2 price tags @_@

Question lang po, pano po ba ang paghahanap ng bahay sa AU, may limit din ba per household or apartment gaya sa SG? na kapag 2 bedroom max of 5 pax?
nag aaccept kaya ng family of 4 ang mga sharing na houses? madami kase ako nakikita sa mga pinoy post for rent for single occupant? pano kaya pag family at starting pa lang, pano kaya ang diskarte para makatipid muna sa rent habang ng jojob hunt pa.

Depends sa agreement with the pinoy. Pero pag aussie, idadaan yan sa tenancy agreement. Nakadisclosed everything kung ilan laman ng bahay. Nakadisclosed rin kung pagaalis na kayo o lilipat dapat kung ano nadatnan mo, ganun rin kalinis. Kaya take a picture para madocument mo kung ano nasa property. Kasi pag may nasira or stain, definitely ibabawas sa deposit mo. Grabe nakabasa ako ng ganung ilang pages mga 10 pages ata yung checklist na yun, iba pa sa contract.
