Re: advice needed from those already in Oz

Most rentals that are advertised are ready (or almost ready) for you to move in. They often seem to put in a date of when the rental will...

Re: Evidence of Identity

Thanks TiddlyP!

It looks like Bank Account, TFN and Medicare will now be OK. The tricky one looks to be the driving licence as we're travelling for 3 months and won't have a Queensland contact...

Re: Has anyone transfered their pensions themselves?

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like something I will leave till I've arrived in Oz and then organise it through my super.

Has anyone transfered their pensions themselves?
