Guys, what kind of private insurance you guys choose here? I'm not PR yet and need it to cover my kids vaccine. Any recommendation? Thanks.

I second that! Move with your family. The kids development need both father & mother together!

I used to work in Vietnam few months back and my household income was about USD7k. I gave up that and migrate to aus together with my kids. I'm still looking for opportunity in aus after spending 1.5 months here.

M&E in construction

Thanks, u too...

I ain't sure about the market at melbourne. I spent 2 weeks to find the house which I'm staying now. I can only get the property I want after I offered the landlord/agent that I'm going to pay them 6 months rental in advance.

Any forumer work as tradie man in Australia? I'm thinking of getting electrician course here. I'm an electrical engineer before but it seems difficult to get an engineer job in Tasmania.

I'm thinking of that, but somehow I don't think those ang mo want a Chinese trademan to repair their house/office. So u can only target the Asian customer.

I'm myself holding 489...now living in hobart...kampung area...can't even find a job that suits my profession, now working in a japanese restaurant which near my house...

Like it or not...Hmm...still exploring...Haven't try other cities yet...since now got a job, try to stay here first because already paid the rental for 6 months ...heard that some even can't find job after years here...So I should count myself lucky...

now is cheaper with Jetstar...

What you guys use for your super fund?

Hi ezzone,

I'm in the same shoe as you, migrate here for the sake of our next generation. I used to have the same job as you and I moved to aus since march. Couldn't find any job that suit my profession even I lower my expectation. End up work as a chef in a japanese restaurant otherwise wife & kids have to eat grass, get paid 18 dollar per hour and work like cow. But I'm still not yet ready to give up the migration thing. It just a matter of time I can get the job I want.

Good luck and all the best.

I'm holding 489 now...I don't see the difference of 489 or 189 when u applying for job...the problem is 489 need to stay at specific areas, hence it limits the job opportunities...

Electrical Engineer, 65 points. I got the invitation almost immediately right after the state government approved your application.

Hi Guys,

Is any of you guys holding visa subclass 190 and did not stay at the state who nominated you?

Dude, ask yourself why you want to migrate. I migrate because of my children. I am sure my parent know why I made such decision and they won't migrate with me as they won't get use of the living style in aus. But they could visit me as frequent as they could as visitor.

You could apply for both but end of the day they will only issue one visa to you, either 489 or 189.

U need to get a job offer that is relevant to the SOL that you applied for.

You don't even need to do that.

ETA only allows you to stay in Australia for 3 months, because you enter Australia by Aussie passport, you could stay more than 3 months, but you might get caught by Malaysia officer when you return to Malaysia as they need your explanation on why you could stay longer than 3 months in Australia while you only have ETA.

I believe Australia officer won't care much as they allow dual-citizenship.
