Hospital coverage is free with Medicare but there is waiting time and could take several months like what @li_i_ren posted. With private health insurance, like medibank, you have the option to choose your doctor and hospital and have a shorter wait…

in Private Health Care Insurance Comment by scorcher March 2013
I guess just bring the essentials that you'll need to survive in the first few weeks. I think documents such birth certificates, marriage certs, your childrens vaccine records, etc... at some point, requirement to present these doco will pop like …

Nasa SG ako with my family early 2000s. Working for a large bank, permanent staff, team lead role, PR and back then I thought this is where I want to retire. But having a young family, I soon realised na this is not the environment I want my kids t…

in Average Salary for IT Professionals Comment by scorcher March 2013
my observation, most people here in AU don't discriminate. some do but in a subtle way while others they show it bluntly. there are anti-discrimation laws here in place and even sa workplace. But if you think abt it Pinoys including myself has more…

I think when your 457 visa is approved in principal they will advise you by email and tell you to send your passport to AU embassy for visa labelling. Visa labelling can be done in any embassy around the world, so you don't have it to be labeled in …

pagpuno na sa school ma malapit sa suburb nyo, normally may referal from them to allow you to enrol your child sa nearest or next available primary school. but sa private school, kahit saan pwede as long as may available slot.

I'm sure maganda ang hangarin ng POEA/OWWA pero sometimes naaabuse ng iba nating kababayan. Alternatively, I think one way to get around this kung di pa nalabel yung visa is to fly to Asean nation like SG na same day pwede mo ipalabel yung 457 visa…
