Hello all,
I am not sure if there is a similar thread somewhere (I did search) so if there is one simply point me to it.
Now, I have my skilled migrant visa 175 and I am gonna buy my ticket to Sydney soon. I am trying to cover the basics, so I need to know, after I set foot in the airport, what are the first things I am to do
  • housing: can I find housing online and book/pay online or do I need to stay at a hotel or something while I look when I am there.
  • do i need to contact officials there when I arrive? who/when/where
  • TFN?
  • Medicare?
  • Do you recommend I stick to public transportation or get a car/bike?
  • Can I open a bank account directly? Are there any prerequisites?
  • How long do you estimate before I can find a job ( I am a software developer .NET)
  • Anything else you can think of

If you could provide a detailed list it would be appreciated.
