Thanks, you're right.
I guess i have complete either one.

u should see a migration agent for free consulation

curious what are you planning to do there?

Thanks bro, what about my career over there if migration is not a problem?
Left high school for 3 years already lol.
Chances of coming back to Malaysia is?

Tbh, I don't know. I thought of taking chances there is better than here.
I guess i have no chance when i see you highlights my weakness

not going to comment on that but if you really want to know your chances of migration and don't know where to start, try getting some pointers from a migration agent... then decide whether you want to let them do it or DIY, good luck

selling butt maybe ？just kidding....no hard feelings

Thanks

What the
Better become janitor

if u no valid visa even janitor also hard to get ok...lolx...

Yes sir, i mean i rather become janitor than sell butt .

Its very simple. What can u contribute to Aust? Skills or $?
If u really want to migrate, take a course first. A TAFE course with skills recognised in Aust.
Then and then only think about migration.

haven't been to Aussie for many many years, dumb question, do PRs need to fill in any arrival forms or anything alike?

Everyone coming into Australia has to fill in the incoming passengers card regardless of the nationality

Hi guys, can anyone share your experience on settling down in Melbourne. I'm moving to Melbourne on coming November but still not yet decided where to stay. I'm in dilemma to choosing between studio and share house.
Personally I prefer to stay with other people. At least I have someone to talk when I'm home.
I learned that sharing house is illegal in Australia e.g. if no proper agreement signed or the bond is not submitted to authority. Anyone can answer me?
Any advice from you if I wanted to share house with somebody - any procedure/checklist I should follow in order to protect my own interests.

Comparing to share house, renting a studio is another option. But I thought that will be costly. My new office is located somewhere along the St Kilda Road, I'm aiming for apartments surrounding that area, specifically South Yarra, South Melbourne and maybe Docklands. The rental is not cheap plus I need to pay the bills myself and possibly need to buy new furniture.

Any advice is much appreciated!

There are two types of share house, some where ur name is added to the lease. This is 100% legal n u will be afforded protection if anything goes wrong. But it is harder to get as u need to get approved, and more expensive.
The other type is cash only.Generally much cheaper but illegal. Typically a person renovates a house, then rents out all the rooms. With this type of rental, there is no protection.
In either cases, get a room that can be locked. Place yr valuables in a safe spot. Take out renters insurance.

Renting studios is typically 100-200 a week more than renting a room. The more the privacy the more the expense.

U have also chosen three of the most expensive areas to live in Melb. I would not recommend Docklands as u will find it painful to get to St Kilda Rd by public transport (Walk, then swap trams a few times).
Its also a ghost town (not many ppl live there).
With Sth Yarra, public transport to St Kilda Rd can be quite limited as u only take the no. 8 tram to St Kilda Rd (takes long time as Toorak Rd is v congested) and swap trams again.
There are certain pockets in Sth Melb such as in the Dorcas St area which may be more suitable and slightly more budget friendly.
However if u do want to save more on rent look at St Kilda East or Windsor.

Well, there's no legal or illegal. the law is placed, if u're not triggering the law, u're safe....u know what i mean?
u can rent the whole lot, sub-rent the room to couple of ppl i can't see any reason. depends on how u deal with it. be smart.
i ain't tell ya to go illegal way, happens that some agents is dodgy too but in a mannered way.

What do u mean there is no legal or illegal?

Legal means u have officially the rights to live in the place. You are completely protected by law. Landlord will need to go through proper processes for repairs, rent increases or evictions.

If u subrent the room and get caught, u may be subject for further action and u may end up getting evicted in the worse case scenario.

This is Oz, where anything also can attitude doesnt apply.

indeed. what i encounter so far is that most ppl can't afford the to rent the big lot. so they'll just sublet to rest of the rooms. probably not gonna report the actual figures though.
yes it is Oz but there's sharks and bogan out there. no paradise here either.

Anyone working in the Education sector? Got a couple of questions. I know, it's an entire different ballgame to accounting/ construction/ engineering etc.

thanks a bunch
