Things to do when you move to AUS permanently
 
Hello Everybody,

I would like to know what are the things one should do when they move to AUS permanently:

1) Apply for TFN
2) Register with Medicare
3) Open Bank Account

Is the order correct, and also am I missing something apart from start searching for a job and a rental ;)

Please reply.

Regards,

Never been near the place; I'd say you can ignore that bit certainly at first, unless you are entitled to child benefit.
