Its reciprocal medicare, basically an agreement between uk and Oz, still get a card but not full cover until I apply for the partner visa -
Its a good feeling when you have the flight booked!! When do you arrive in Oz? We've got our new joint bank account set up, applied for my Vic licence and Medicare card too.

Im now in oz on a Prospective Marriage Visa and after Medicare but apparently there is a loop hole that on a PMV you cant apply for Medicare until you have submitted the Partner visa which would be after we are married! Would I still be covered some what on the reciprocal agreement that Britain and Australia have with medical cover for citizens.

Thanks!! Think mine arrives September 14th about a month earlier than expected! Yeah she is, made the leaving part much easier!

Just thought Id drop by since its been a while from I was on here. We arrived in Oz yesterday morning after spending about 3 weeks touring through the south east of the Republic of Ireland and about 2 weeks in Northern Ireland with my family before flying out of Dublin on Wednesday night, spend a day in Dubai ( Loved it and would recommend) and arrived here on Saturday morning! Next step is to change over my license, sort out the bank accounts in uk and oz and to start looking at rentals! Start back to the shop I used to work in when I was last in Oz!

Dam yours was fast !! Id love to do a campervan trip of Oz! Some day! Which part of Melbourne are you heading too?

Had my last day of work on Friday, MoveCube comes tomorrow, sitting sorting out all the forms and items for each box, hoping its a smooth day tomorrow! I had waaay more to go through and sort than I thought!
-
Ive booked with move cube and if you look at the breakdown of the destination charges its basically the customs clearance charge plus the delivery fee of the cube if you chose door to door
-
Theres forms to fill out and it details whats needed, for example.. Box 1 Clothes ... Box 2 Cutlery etc etc they dont need to know the pattern of your best shirt lol I've had no mention of material items are made off but the Move Cube folk have paper work with guide lines on each section of the customs forms. They do say put shoes etc at the front of the box. Yeah it totally is, never expected so.. I just imagined packing a suit case and going You can get help with packing and unpacking the Movecube. Its on the quotation on their website if you choose it. Where are you moving from ?

First fire fighters where on scene within 6 mins. It went from the 2nd floor to the top floor in 15mins but apparently started in the 4th like @Sunset said above a fridge was the cause Id heard this this morning, a guy being interview said it was someones fridge on the fourth floor blew up
-
Booked my Movecube last night, just went for the Medium! But what I didnt expect was the amount of paper work to go through. Im taking insurance with @Letton Percival so thats more paper work but its all for the right reasons!
-
Have you lined up jobs or anything? or know where you'll be based for employment as that would have an effect on your location. Im definilty an eastern suburbs fan, having lived in and worked in quite a few areas in Melbourne over a couple of years Id chose south/central eastern areas. Obv the closer to the CBD the more expensive. @The Pom Queen has put up a few articles on here about different suburbs in Melbourne. Check out Realestate.com.au it will give you a break down on suburbs. Footscray probably wouldnt be my choice if im honest lol

Applied 9th of January Request for more information on 7th March eg Police checks and Medicals for myself and police check for her Visa granted Monday the 5th of June So just under 5 months , ours took a little longer because our wedding date wasn't until feb next year so had to leave a little long before granting. There arent many on here for PMV but recently they have all been fairly quite between 3 months and 6 months but its Case by case and its a lottery, I didn't expect mine until August so when my C/O rang on Monday past i was pleasantly surprised!
-
I'll hopefully know at the weekend if I can fit my stuff into a small once I get all the boxes im gona use and then get it booked for a few weeks time!
