Moving sept12, what did you do first

[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-aus...ly-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)
