Dear Ramzi

Good luck with your move to Australia. I also came with 136 at the beginning of November.

You can find some information about the "first steps" you should take at Ready for Australia: Bureaucracy . You can open a bank account around 1 month prior to your arrival to Australia with Commonwealth Bank. They have an account for immigrants. You can also transfer money accordingly so when you arrive in Australia, you can go directly to their branch and get your bank card and everything.

You'll also need a driving licence as soon as possible since it is very important as an identification card. They require a certified translation from an Australian authority which you can obtain only once you are here. Once you get it, it is just an hour of work to get a new one if you don't need to take the test.

Just have a look at the web site above and don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Have fun!!!
Mine
