don think so
i tried to find the depart/arrival to msia but cannot find

fly to sydney. holiday a little bit and then fly up using virgin air or jetstar or something cheap. unless you are in a rush. check with a travel agency. they will tell you the flight plans really quickly.

Do you guys ever read before typing out your mindless thoughts?

If you want to fly down to Canberra using Qantas, you have to go down to Singapore, then take a Qantas flight, SIN-SYD-CBR. Alternatively, fly down to Sydney (or Melbourne) using any airline that suits your fancy, then connect to the many flights to Canberra.

I highly doubt you can do these things online through the respective airlines websites. The best bet, ESPECIALLY for a first timer, is to go through an travel agent, who will deal with the connecting flights for you. At least with using a full service airline your luggage would be checked through to Canberra.

I'd highly recommend Tung Shin. Only cost rm92 for the whole thing, and got my visa approved within a week. Try to go there early on a Saturday morn to avoid the KL jam and long queue.

if u want it fast, go for e-health. I got my visa in one day. RM180, no jam, no need to wait.
hahahaha

visa is electronic, no?

heheh, i have about 2 and a half weeks and i'm just dumping random stuff into my bag. Gonna take half of it out later XD

A lot of my friends tell me they are living out of their suitcase already hahahaha.

I hate the packing process. Have to wash, iron and pack. Then when we arrive the clothes are all wrinkly and messed up again -___-

lol i bought in QV though
about fashion,i would recommend buy jacket from msia n not buy from Oz...

if not mistaken,if the item u bought is $30,u can pay by  debit/credit card for $20 then another $10 by cash...
i noticed many banks also like tht..my gf ask for bank statement to subscribe 3 postpaid n they gif her computer printed statement to her n 3 don accept because it is not hand written,no chop/sign,bla bla....then need to go ask again
n my bank sometimes charge money for the statement n sometimes not 

FML, I signed on for a contract already. Want to change to Optus also can't now T_T

try this go call back if your parents don't want to use skype http://www.lebara-mobile.com.au/en/

I not sure about coverage in Canberra but in Melbourne seem ok. Most of my friends use it for international call. It's just only 1 cent per minute!!!!! Basically they have 2 mobile phones. One for local either 3 or optus (mostly optus), 1 for international call which they use lebara.

Cut her some slack. She is only asking opinions from people studying at Griffith, not seeking direct answers regarding something specific. You can't expect her to send an email to Griffith asking 'hey i'm thinking to study at your uni is that good?', right? And by the way, i suggest that the "rules" be simplified and be more 'straight to the point'. It seems to me that they are more like lecturing essays than rules.

Oh and i'd like to provide some info regarding TFN. First of all, it is not 'mandatory' to have your TFN to be able to legally work in Australia.(you need a working permit for that)However, it is strongly recommended that you have one because if you don't provide your TFN to your bank and employer, your interests and salary will be taxed at 46.5%.(45%+1.5% medical levy) That sucks doesn't it? So go apply for one before you start working.

Secondly, earning less than $6000 per year means your earnings are tax-free, it has nothing to do with eligibility of tax refund. Even if you have earned only $30 this year, if $5 was deducted from your pay as tax, you are eligible for a tax refund.

The Australian tax system is comprehensive and very well designed. For all of you working out there, from July to October every year ATO will be holding Tax Help Program, which is a program designed to help low income taxpayers to lodge their tax returns. The service is totally free of charge and most of the universities will have participated in this program. Ask your student guild about this.

Source? Australian Taxation Office, and i was a Tax Help Volunteer last year.
