3 weeks to go ........ checklist?
Okay, 3 weeks time I will be in Melbourne, can anyone think of anything else i will need to do upon arrival (other than stop panicking)?
Note some of the items on list are personally applicable. List is not in priority order.
House to rent
ARTC collection
Medicare
Licence application (if staying on tools)
Bank account (already set up from uk)
TRN (think that's what it's called - tax number thingy)
Kids school
Job (only cos i have to)
Furniture (to park my bum after walking around without a car)
Car (to save my feet)
Sim cards for mobiles (to call solicitor 'cos i forgot about the OZ car licence)
Car Licence

Re: 3 weeks to go ........ checklist?
This might sound really stupid, but bring a uk extension lead, cus you will need to charge your uk phones!! and possibly bring a universal plug, you can get them here but its useful to have one to begin. Oh and get your phones unlocked before you come, although to be honest phones are really fairly cheap here.
Happy 3 weeks of panic !!
