My assurer has just completed my AOS data - seems that there was a bit more to it than I had anticipated including a $150 fee for opening the commonwealth bank account. I have never seen any reference to this fee and I am wondering if anyone can enlighten me please.

Thanks

We thought this odd as well but apparently this is the charge for everyone being sponsored. We did explain that when we get to Oz i want the manager to convince us why we should invest many $k with them and not to go elsewhere. That fell on deaf ears as well. It does seem strange having to pay for the privilege of leaving your money in an account with them. We have heard that most of the banks in Oz charge for just about everything and we will have to get used to this. We now know which bank we will avoid depositing large sums of money in.
