What paperwork should we bring with us?

[Natnats]

Hi all,

We are hoping to move to Sydney in about 4 weeks time and wondered if anyone could recommend what paperwork we should bring with us that would help us get ourselves set up? We have opened bank accounts but that's it so far!

Thanks!!!

Neither school our kids are starting next week asked to see theirUK school reports, but we did offer. I realise that this may vary between schools though. If you do have kids bring their red immunisation books - the primary school wanted to see my daughter's book and photocopied it, but my son's high school did not want to see it.

The other thing that may help to is to put some of the above list onto a memory stick - alot of jobs/rental appications here are applied for online.

Good luck with you move.
