Emigrating To Australia - 6 essential Steps on Arrival
If you are thinking about moving to
Australia permanently on a visa, you will need to be prepared. As this is the
case, here, we will explore six crucial points that you need to sort out when
you arrive in Australia.
In Australia, you cannot legally earn an
income if you do not have a tax file number. Not only will you require a number
for wages, but also for government payments and money earned from investments,
including interest on a bank account.
Following on from the above you will need
to have an Australian bank account. As a bonus for the first six weeks of your visa,
you will just need a passport as identification for an account. After six weeks,
you will require another form of identification like a utility bill. This is
why it is imperative that you apply for a bank account quickly.
In order to be considered with Medicare
you need to register 7 to 10 days after you have landed in Australia. Medicare
will provide you with help for basic medical expenses, and will also provide
you will free public hospital care and help with the cost of out-of-hospital
care.
To comply with Australian law, all
children must remain in school until they are 15 years old. As this is the
case, you need to ensure your children are enrolled quickly.
Living in Australia without speaking
English fluently could be an issue. Therefore, to stop this being an issue, new
arrivals in Australia receive free English lessons under AMEP (Adult Migrant
English Program). You may be able to receive up to 510 hours of language
tuition. However, in order to be considered you need to register as soon as
possible.
In order to drive in Australia you will
need to have an Australian driver license. While you may be able to drive for
three months on your current license, you will eventually need a national
license if you have moved over to the country permanently.
Above are six steps that you need to
consider as soon as possible after you move to Australia. Failure to follow any
of these steps could leave you requiring assistance to rectify issues, which is
not something you want to have to deal with so soon after moving to a new
country.
