Fun Manager

Hi ptsamm

Glad that you find the information useful.

Never mind - "Fund Manager" sometimes a bit like "Fun Manager" - they're funny because somtimes they don't return your calls, don't update you, don't act on your instruction etc.

Have a Great Day.

Cheers

Hi RanbowQueen,

你好！當然唔遲啦。記得上來chat多Ｄ呀。你而家住係香港或係Sydney呢？我有一仔一女，9歲同5歲。用中文溝通真係親切D，但係對只識用手寫板的我就好慢呀。不過我諗practice make better嘅。:lol:

你們在澳洲的媽媽or爸爸(有爸爸在這嗎﹖)﹐有想念香港嗎﹖我初來時﹐甚麼都是新奇﹐要學好英文﹐楂車﹐適應新環境﹐然後返工。。。然後又做了媽媽﹐交了新朋友。。。時間過得很快﹐沒有特別想念過香港。直至最近﹐小朋友開始大了﹐新奇的已經不再新奇﹐甚至有點厭倦﹐開始很懷念香港﹗:-|

[Dear all mom,

Wish to have some advice / help.

We now have 2 children (age 5.5 and 2.5) and going to have another one in coming Nov. We got the approval for emigration in mid Aug 07 and is required to make initial entry before mid Dec 07.

1. How I should plan for settling in Aus in the coming year?
2. Is there anything I must/better do to facilitate my settling in the coming trip?

At this moment, I was thinking may be I have to enrol my girls for schools first? (when does a new school term start in Sydney? when is the application period? do they conduct interviews? which school should I approach?)

Please advise me of other things I need to prepare. Thanks a lot.

Hi KT-mom,

It is nice to meet you.

For your coming initial landing/entry trip, I don't know how long you will decide to stay, if your stay is more than 2 weeks then I would recommend you to apply for :

1) Medicare card
2) Learner License - written test
3) Tax file no.

1) For medicare card for the family, it is a very simple process. Please be reminded that though you can only apply after 7-10 days onboard. In other word, they won't except your application if you submit a day after your arrival since they still can not able to locate your information. For download enrolment form and application details, here is the website http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/

2) If you do not have one already, it is recommended that you book for a written driving test. Cause once you pass it , you will immediately be issue a Learner license with your photo identify. This ID proof could do a lot of convenience for you when later for your settling process. For more information, here is the website http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/

3) Tax file no. It is also a simple procedure but could only apply in person with original document attach. Without tax file no, bank will deduct 46.5% of your account interest so it is also suggested that you get it over and done with when you are here. For download form and more details , here is the website : http://www.ato.gov.au

Pls. note this is not a must do. So If you find the above consume too much time, especially with your children to take care of . You could also do it on your permanent staying then.

It will be good if your husband and youself could ride on this trip to see the district / area that you would like to settling the family in. With soon to-be-three children family, safety and convenience may be your priority. Parks nearby would also be ideal. For places to recommend, it is the hardest part! North part of Sydney is consider to be the better part in terms of environment and education but you would expect the rental would be higher than others. I am living in Hurstville (South-West) but it may not be the best recommendation cause some like the convenience and some hate the crowds. So it is very important that your family could experience yourself and pick the best one for your family.

Once area identify, it would be a good idea to put on enrolment or waiting list for childcare/pre-school within that district cause good one usually have long waiting list!! In my case, the pre-school has accepted my daughter two months before my arrival and I have paid the fees to secure it at once. Don't worry though, I am sure every district have their own good pre-school / childcare. Wise to visit a few that have shortlisted in person. See for yourself the teacher, the environment, the cleaniness, the children there. You would have a good judge.

Oh last but not least, allow more time for rental!! Took me sometimes (11/2 month) before I could get a decent place.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
P.S. Could I ask for the migration approval visa you obtain in Aug. , how many years do you need to stay before getting the citizenship?2 years? or 4 years? just curious.

Hi KT-mom,

For kindergarten, school starts the first day of Feb every year. For childcare and preschool, usually a little earlier. For public school, no need for interview. As long as you have address proof that your family is living within the district, the acceptance is automatic. However, interview do need it for private school.

cheers.

Hi KT mom,

I am applying a public kindergarten for my elder son, just for your information.

you need the following:
3 separate items proving their residential address.

Council Rate Notice
Water Rate Notice
Lease
Electricity/Gas Account
Phone Account
Bank Statement
Driver’s Licence.

Parents will also need to provide

enrolment form (can download from http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/schoolfind/enrolment/index.php)
Birth Certificate or passport
Immunisation certificate
parent’s passport or citizenship certificate if parents are born overseas.

I have almost 2 weeks haven't check BK, because my bun bun "run away". She said her father pass away and asked us buy her air ticket and borrow some money. Then she haven't come back. And we found that she has packed up all her belongings. She made me crazy busy to take care two boys. Poor me!
