if mag initial entry lang kami and stay for 6 days in AU, ok lang ba na hindi muna kumuha ng tax number at magregister sa medicare and centerlink? tapos saka nalang asikasuhin un pag balik namin para mag settle na.
thanks in advance!

Medicare will take less than 1 hr, tax file number will be done in less than 10 minutes online pa.... I dunno bout centrelink as we did not bother with this.
Better to do it now in my opinion so that you will be up and ready when you come back AND MOST IMPORTANTLY you will be able to get your medicare card hence you will be covered immediately if ever you need to be hospitalized.

pero seriously wag na lalo na sa medicare kasi kung more than 30y/o ka na, after a year when you register to medicare, magbabayad ka na ng medicare levy surcharge pag kukuha ka ng private health... so mag register ka na pag talagang settle down ka na para meron ka 1 year not to pay the surcharge...

it's your decision though

so halimbawa po, pagkadating ko ng Au, pag nagregister ako sa Medicare, pwede na rin ako kumuha ng private insurance, pero after 12 months ko pa pwede gamitin?

pag kumuha ka ng private health insurance, anytime pwede mo na gamitin except na lang sa mga ibang condition like panganganak, pre-existing condition etc... rules na ng private health yun.

pero mas ok siguro kumuha ng private insurance 'pag settled na sa work no?
pano po ba usually kalakaran sa mga companies? meron ba sila kadalasang, ka 'tie-up' o bahala ka pumili ng insurance company?

Meron mga company na merong preferred na Health Insurance Company ... pero d naman sapilitan .. normally meron lang flexibility kagaya ng idededuct na alng sa sahod mo or .. minsan meron company share ang cover mo

and ung medicare, advice nya is within 7 to 10 days upon arrival is mag register na. kaso, if i will have to pay pa ung medical levy surcharge or undergo pa ng trouble of explaining why i don't have to pay it eh baka hindi na rin muna ako magregister. plan kc talaga namin is makapag land muna.

For the medicare I'm not quite familiar with it so let's wait for the other member to answer that question.
