After our 1 1/2 mths here, we are now nearly settled. So what does one need first before one can get started with life in Australia?
The most important thing is a permanent address with a proof of one. The best thing unless you've got cash to buy a permanent home, is a tenancy agreement. Without one, you can't get a phone, internet, open a bank, get a credit card, register for medicare, buy a car, register for school, register with ATO etc...
It's the single most important thing to get before anything else. We found out this when we arrived here on the first week! And amazingly we rented a house within a week of our arrival despite the shortage situation where we live.
