OH, 4 weeks after, so how do you get in in the first place then? Ours (136) had to be in the passport before we got here.
Someone will know.

Re: where do i go?
The 457 is electronic, which means you can enter Australia without an actual stamp in your passport.
You should then go down to the local Immigration department in the state you move to where they will place a sticker in your passport.
I'll see if I can dig up an old thread

Re: where do i go?
As far as I know this is not always true, for example if your passport is not ETA-eligible, or if the sponsor is an offshore company. In these cases, a visa label may be needed in advance.
