Things to do first Before going to Australia

jayp · December 2013

Hi, All!

Buhayin ko lang po itong thread. Any inputs naman po please re sending things (used personal items) from Pinas to Aus (Melbourne in particular).

Isip kasi namin ng wife ko dalhin ang mga pwedeng madala na sure naman magagamit sa Aus para less gastos especially on a tight budget. This is kung di magkasya sa ibibigay na baggage allowance ng IOM whether 40-60kgs each passenger pa. Mga items we're thinking are comforter, mga handed-down winter jackets. We're thinking bagging and vacuuming them to save space. Pero ang main consideration parin is what if mag-excess sa 60kgs each... Any suggested seafreight/airfreight company please?

Thank you.

Hi hard2handle, you can use DHL, 7500 for a 25kilo box. I only recommend sending stuff if you think that the stuff you can put in a single box is personally important to you (i.e, wedding albums etc) AND worth twice or more than the cost of sending 1 box.

Mahirap din mamili dito lalu na kung kararating mo lang at wala ka pa masyadong alam sa paligid ligid. Mapapagastos ka pa sa taxi dahil hassle magbus kung shopping galore ka....

@jayp
hello po
thanks sa inputs, will consider these, lalo na ung DHL.
no kids pa pala kami, couple pa lng.

@jayp thank you din sa info.

So kahit yung baby book nalang na nanduon yung dates ng vaccine administer okay na yun? They don't require the doctor's certification? If so, that's good news. It's so hassle to get certification, especially if you don't get the vaccine from one doctor only. Thank you.

I think so. Pero siguro just to make sure just get a medical cert from your pedia if you can, baka iba maging case mo sken, hehe... I believe when you get vaccine they put a sticker, yung galing sa vaccine, on you baby book, yun ang proof of vaccine kasi...

bluemist · December 2013

@jayp thanks again for the info

yes baby book will do

@JCsantos that's great sir. Thanks for the info.

hello po, ask ko lang po for those with kids and for enrollment sa school. Ano po kailangan kong immunization documents ng kid for submission to medicare? Para ma register ko sa immunization register, which is a school requirement? TIA
Hi bluemist, base on recent experience, we brought our kids baby books including a certification from our Ph pedia. I had it photocopied (cost mo 10 aud at auspost) and certified (for free) at a Justice of Peace here. When we went to the clinic (they're the ones who'll send the records to the immunisation registry) all they did is just check the baby books and thats it. So dont bother certifying it. Just bring records that will show your kids immunisation.

Hope this helps.

this is very informative, ite-take note ko to hehehe

problema ko lang, sanay sa distilled na di mainit na water ang baby ko. Pero meron naman yata silang bottled water, bibili nalang sa airline. Regarding sa milk mukhang itatapon ng sa customs, kagaya ng napanood ko sa border security

feeling ko pwede naman eh... these are processed food naman and most importantly delata so ayus lang.

strict sila sa gatas, fresh fruits, dried meat, etc...

hi, may tanong po ako. End na kasi ng contract namin sa flat rental sa sg, we asked the owner nga pwde ba kami nag extend til feb since mag migrate na kami and they are trying to sell the flat naman. Humingi daw ang HDB ng proof of our grant para daw bigyan kami ng extension sa flat til mag migrate na kami. tanong ko, ok lang ba ibigay ang grant details sa kanila? Is it safe? wala kasing na mention na confidential or something.

passport details mo...

if it were me, i would not be comfy giving this detail.

yung letter nalang cguro ng CO on the visa grant as this does not contain your private details.
