I went through an agent over here that was very helpful it cost my mum about $6000. Hope this help Nicki If she is on a 804, wouldn't she have medicare direct? If she is on a bridging visa, would be interested to know how the system works for non permanent-residents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pertenhall Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 No progress with the processing dates this week - still showing 27th July. Please don't slow right down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogirl1 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 No progress with the processing dates this week - still showing 27th July. Please don't slow right down again. Hi been so busy but have kept an eye on the mail. We have sold up and come to Canberra until we hopefully get our pr. So pleased for all the people that have escaped the waiting room. Especially Julie who has been an inspiration to us all. Disappointed that the date has stayed the same as last week. Hoping it was going to really move on. We shall see.

Now that we have our PR there is still loads to do. Medicare applied for, awaiting tax file numbers so we can change our migrant bank account and get better interest and credit cards, awaiting this that and the other! Blimey I'm in another waiting room! :biglaugh: Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher1 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi Julie As I'm still stuck in the UK for family reasons (yet another waiting room - have visa can't move!!!) we are trying to sort out lots of the paperwork ahead of time, also get our heads round what we have to do when we arrive. I'm particularly interested in the application of Aussie income tax. We've already had a breakdown of our tax situation from an advisor (thank you Alan Collett for your great service) so I'm gatherin the info we need for Tax reduction on our pensions, but I'm really unclear about the timeline for actually paying anything. Do do you go to a tax office and 'sign on' in some way, or do they contact you or what? Similarly Medicare ... any pointers gratefully received - the better prepared we are the more time (and possibly money) it may save us later!
