Hi im just starting to make all the arrangements for going out to oz on a working holiday visa in the next 6 months. Just wanted to pick some ideas of things ill need to do other than the glaringly obvious Visa, Travel insurance, booking flights and arranging bank account and tax file numbers. Also has anyone got any good pointers or advice on the best place to apply for visa (ie is it worth while going through a company who arrange the bank and tax number or is it just as good to go directly through the government and sort the rest myself?) I will be staying with a friend out there in the gold coast area so accommodation is all in hand. there seems so much to think about and would like to get my priorities n order so there are no nasty surprises later on down teh line! Thanks for reading and any suggestions ideas would be helpful
