where are you staying?
Westpac do a deal with ADHB staff(maybe other hospitals do as well). Most banks are really friendly here compare to the UK, so you sort the bank out when you get here as it might be worth getting one near where you intend to live.
Good Luck

Hi
thank you for replies, I have looked at westpac and they do an online application, which I will do, I need an account before I start as ADHB request this.
Just can't wait, this is so exciting yet scary at the same time, the hospital has said it will give me 2 weeks accomodation.
