Re: WE HAVE ARRIVED - but it is harder than I thought

We opted for a minimal send off at the airport - just my parents and my husbands parents and that was emotional enough! We broke the journey to Oz with a few days in Dubai and basically spend the...

Re: 1 month on Central Coast NSW

Thanks. I've never seen any meetups on the Coast advertised, but I'll keep a look out. If you notice any, it'd be great if you could PM me or reply to this thread, so I don't miss it.

Cheers.

Re: Insurance for visiting elderly relatives

Would they have to pay to see the GP? I've been here 16 months, but thankfully never had to visit the GP. But I thought you had to pay for this and then claim it back through medicare, assuming...

Re: Insurance for visiting elderly relatives

I'm interested in your comment regarding visiting elderly parents being covered by Medicare whilst they're here. Do you know exactly what they're covered for and how this works in principle?

Re: 1 month on Central Coast NSW

Catherine,

Can't believe we've been on the coast now for 6 months - and still didn't organise that meet up - sorry, it's been a busy time. We'd love to meet up with some other Expats on the...

Re: 1 month on Central Coast NSW

I'll post another note or send a personal message (if I can remember how!) once we've made the move and we can arrange a meet up.
Cheers,

Re: Who else is going to have to validate their visas due to house not selling?

Yeah :thumbdown: Bit of a b*gger that one. So, we're going to take enough money to see us over the first few months and leave the rest in a high interest account here. Well, that's the thinking at...
