    Thanks, knew there was someone on here who knew about this sort of thing, but couldn't remember who it was.

    Hi We are a family of 4 looking for a short term furnished rental in Brisbane. We need somewhere to stay until we can find a longer term rental property, so hopefully for 3/4 weeks. As it is short term, we can be quite flexible with the location. I've searched a few website, without much luck, anyone got any suggestions?

    Hi there, hope someone can answer this for me. does your UK credit rating have any affect in Oz, would Aussie banks or finance companies, check your British rating, it would be nice to be able to bring a decent credit history with me when I go.

    Hi This question has possibly been asked before, but I have had no luck searching the forum. I need help in redirecting my post to Oz. I know that I can set up a redirection service with Royal mail, that is the easy bit. My issue is that I don't have an address in Oz to forward to. I'll be staying in temporary accommodation for the first month, and hopefully will move into a longer term rental after that. I've been told by Oz post office that I can't set up a PO Box from over here, you need to do it in person in an Australian post office. Using relatives over here to receive the mail and send it to me in Oz, is not a viable option unfortunately. Any one out there faced a similar problem and managed to find a solution?

    I'm very pleased to read SRP's reply, I spent a year in America quite a while ago, and I really resented the way ex-pats were treated regarding credit. Good to know that I'm heading to a country with a more reasonable way of dealing with new arrivals,.

    The drug is on the PBS list, so it is sounding like good news for us. Thanks for the replies so far.

    My employer has made medical insurance a condition of my employement. But I'm expecting the insurance company not to cover this prescription as it is for a known condition at the time of taking out the insurance, so hoping to be able to use PBS to get the medication.

    Does anyone have any real world experience of how this works? I've read a few websites, and on the face of it, it looks great, and than coming from the UK me and my family should be very well covered (travelling under my 457 visa). But what I'd like to know is, what are the limitations of it when you come to use it. My wife has a prescription for a drug that is very expensive, and reading the websites it appears that PBS under RHCA should cover us. The difference in price between the PBS cost and the actual cost is huge. Has anyone on here had positive experience of getting prescriptions under the scheme?

    Going to be relocating to Brisbane later this year on a 457, I've being trying in vain to work out if Qld charges fees for 457 visa holders for state schools. I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. Does anyone on here have kids at a state school and if so do you pay fees?
