Moving sept12, what did you do first

[Guest Paula H]

Finding an area? securing work? setting up with Medicare? Rental? Getting TRN number etc? buying a car?

 

What do we do in what order? what do we need to do from UK?

You've got ages and ages where not a lot will happen from our experience - its the last few weeks it all happens at once more or less lol. We started our journey in Feb last year, got our visas granted in Sept and not a lot has happened since then until the last couple of weeks really - we leave in 30 days from today!

 

In the UK:

 

Arrange flights

Arrange first week/s accomodation

Get quotes from shippers

Book shippers

Tell everyone (doctors/dentists and so on if you want to take records etc)

Sell off everything/get rid of things you aren't taking (some of this can't be done until the last minute eg your bed!)

When you get there:

TFN - link here :http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-australia/settle-in-australia/to-do-first/apply-for-tfn.htm

Medicare - go down to your local office

Search for long term rental

Get jobs (this depends on you/your profession/your preferences etc though as well)
