1 week in. Things are good.
 

After a week tomorrow things here in Oz are going well. The wife has scored a job as a dental assistant. I have 2 jobs on offer. Got to meet a guy tomorrow and discuss one. The other is a start on Monday. So either way i'm covered. Still staying with a mate but we are looking for an apartment. The missus is enjoying Sydney. After living in Bangkok for years, she is blown away by how beautiful Sydney is. So ye, a week in and alls good. The missus is happy so easy for me. BTW i have never seen so many mullets in one place in all my life. :eek: :beer:

Day 1 was showing the wife around. Day 2- Beach and wife was asked if she wanted a job. Day 3 BBQ at a friends house. Day 4 was going to get TFN , banks, medicare etc. Day 5 was getting NSW licence and finishing banking stuff, Havnt got medicare as yet, The old biddy who was working the PC seemed to have no idea, So i'll go back another time. Day 5 i was offered a job Day 6 another job. Day 6 started to look at other places to live. So its generally been easy.

If it was anything like when I went to Medicare, they will probably want 100 points of ID, finger and retina prints, a DNA sample, and a sworn affidavit that you won't leave the country at any point in the next 10 years!

I'm still not registered, and I've been here 3 months! Stupid *#!$*%s!

Generally it takes about 10 days for you to be put into the system by immigration. So maybe they just didn't have you on the computer yet. :)
