transpo is not as efficient as compared to SG. galing kami SG prior to coming here and un ang isa sa mga naicompare talaga namin. taxis are rip-off. its very handy if you guys know how to drive kc yun ang primary means of transport ng mga tao dito (or for most, at least). you can get a cheap reliable car at perth gumtree or carsales.com.au. also, better if you have a driver's license from pinas kc you can use it to drive around here for 3mos then when you have your assessment and everything done na, ndi nyo na kekelanganin mag logbook kung may phil license kayo.
If you are intro trades (skilled work), or mga engrs, mechanical, manufacturing rel to mining etc mejo madami dami trabaho dito sa may bandang SOR particularly in kwinana, canning vale, bibra lake etc kaya madami din kababayans within our area mostly those who are on 457 visa.
accommodation, ndi maxado madali humanap ng bahay (although not impossible) when coming here the first time kc most agents would want na you are presently here to view the unit/house and ung iba mejo hesitant pag wala pa trabaho kc isipin nila where will you get your rent money from. and mejo tumataas nadin ang rent these days and because of the influx of people coming here everyday from interstates and outside of au kaya ung iba kahit mataas kinukuha na. so mejo common naman sa mga kababayans natin ung naghhouse share for a while, until such time na makakuha ng marerent nila na bahay or better yet ung papagawa na sila ng bahay.
Feel free to ask kung may mga tanong pa po kayo and ill try to answer kung alam ko. ill be lurking around for a while kc tinutulungan ko ung sister ko to migrate here and i completely forgot the basics na since the last time we did this so need ulit maglurk mode. Welcome to Perth!

in terms of bahay, kung bibili ka ng existing na, mas mahal sya pero ayos na, i mean wala na maxado kelangan gawin esp kung near new ung bahay, lilipat kanalang. unlike bagong gawa, start from scratch, takes almost a year before you can occupy (from contract signing, loan grant, design stage, building stage gang sa handover ng bahay) and you get to customize ung layout ng bahay mo kung san ilalagay si kitchen, kung may alfresco, may theatre room etc. in short mas exciting

kung ang line mo siguro eh sa office like IT, accounting, banking etc, cguro the closer to the city the better. mero within city may mga studio type apts for $280-300/wk (not sure) or you can check outside cbd pero close proximity padin to city ctr like victoria park, belmont (im speaking for SOR kc mejo mas kabisado ko south than north). Kung Engr ka pwede sa may canning vale area na saturated ng mga Asians (Singaporeans/Malaysians) madami asian food, Kardinya, Bullcreek or Further south like South Lake/Jandakot/Cockburn/Success/Atwell/ Kwinana/dito sa Spearwood ok din. Ndi naman super nagkakalayo interms of pricing unless pupunta ka talaga sa mga high end (mosman park, peppermint grove, attadale, claremont, nedlands etc)
ung ibang suburb naman na mura mura talaga either malayo na (wellard/rockingham/waikiki/bertram)
or mejo madami public housing/aborigines/unemployed (coolbellup/gosnells/bertram/hamilton hill) <-- madami din pinoys although may mga series of break-ins and burglaries na.
punta ka sa streetadvisor.com.au andun ung mga reviews about different suburbs kung san ok tumira depends on your preference.

ah. i guess ndi kayo mahihirapan ng work kc ang alam ko madami work ngayon esp engrs with years and years of exp. mejo foreigner mostly engr dito kc mga local esp lalaki they prefer tradeskills over professions kc pag tradie, tafe lang cla nagaral (parang satin mga vocation course) mas mura, 6mos to 2yrs lang and minsan mas malaki pa take home esp pag mining or kc longer working hours. unlike sa sg na oty tau dito bayad per hr. My hubby is actually studying Mech.Engg at tafe atm and is shifting professions na kc mas madami opportunity for enggrs esp mech engg so good decision to leave sg.
school ng kids, theyll def enjoy kc ung anak ng kaibigan namin nung nagtransfer always looking forward daw to go to school kc they just play, ndi maxado pressured sa school, parents dont get to study din hehe, and 1-2assignments lang per wk that u need to submit the following week pa. the kid is 10yrs old so for K1 baka puro educ activities palang with v.few assignments.
maganda ung mga new build. nakakatuwa parang the sims in real life dba nakakatuwa din puro landed property dito kc sa sg puro hdb.lol average house and land sits at $400-450 for a 4x2 br house. pero depende padin sa suburb. at the moment sa dami nadin kc ng nagpapatayo over the years kung gusto mo makakuha ng less than 500k kelangan mo na umusod further down or further up kc the more na malapit sa city mas mataas ang price.

Later on we'll rent/buy somewhere more affordable. From my research, medyo affordable pa sa Ellenbrook/Aveley/Baldivis areas and bago pa yung mga houses. It's about 30km away from Perth. Anybody have experience living in these areas? (May ongoing bush fire din nga pala dito this week).
