Hi I was wondering what ways you can prove your funds incase you get stopped in australia? I have funds but they are not in my account and are getting sent over to me after I am there. Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks, yeah it's def an option but i'd rather be able to see the money in my account! Bit paranoid i know! haha

Hey me and my mate are heading over to Oz on a WH in a couple of weeks. We are with commonwealth but just found out that you can't do commonwealth banking without your card so was wondering if there are any banks that you can see your account without having your card yet? Don't feel comfortable sending a heck of a lot of money over and not being able to physically see that it is there. Thanks in advance!

Thanks you so much!

Hi everyone! So I leave for Australia in a couple of weeks on a working holiday but my circumstances are a bit different. I am an australian citizen because my dad was born there so I am travelling on my Oz passport instead of a WHV. So I was wondering if this affects my ability to use medicare? When I looked online it says you need your passport and a valid visa so any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Def wouldn't use travellers cheques, I took them last time and everywhere charges you to change them

Hey, I go to Oz in sept also! Where abouts are you heading first? Not sure about what clothes to take but me and my mate are taking a suitcase Think you only need to take like enough clothes for max 2 weeks though, so its gonna be hard! haha Nic x

Can't help on the bank issue as i'm looking into that myself but I got my insurance at holiday safe and it was the best price around that I could find

Sorry can't help you with that

Not that I know of, I just want to get it out of the way as soon as possible and like I said its rainy up north so would prefer to do it either in NSW or Vic

Hey I arrive in Melbourne on the 20th of September!

Hey so i'm off to Oz in September too and i'm starting in Melbourne. September is like spring/summertime so In NSW and Victoria etc its getting hotter but up north it is the rainy season as its a bit more of a tropical climate. Im hoping to do my farmwork in Jan but will be looking to do it somewhere in NSW. Hope this helps
