Hi can anyone give me a rough idea on monthly bills, Im looking at a rental of $420/450 4x2x2 in the Halls Head area. Just me and my wife no kids? Gas Electric House Insurance (rented??) Water for Reci Mobile Phone Landline/Internet Foxtel Food Thanks

Ye good luck VS with the new business!!!

Im in the process of shipping my Siberian Husky out, next month. Approx cost below Air freight including dog box £3,800 from Dublin to Melbourne flight from Melbourne to Perth $800 Lodgement fee $325 10 day Quarantine fee $700 This does not include Vet injection.

I am using RAC they seemed to be ok

Druid just applied online for HBF under 489 visa and it was more expensive than Medibank, HBF essential was over $500

Lou i know dos not make any sense to me either, will look at a few other private companies. They also told me it will go from $480.50 to $227.00 when i get my PR

Well done, good start to your recce, I was here 3 before i started looking and got a job within a few days. Not my ideal job by any means, but if your wiling to take a step back to get Oz experience to take 2 steps forward there is plenty of work out there. Good luck with the rest of your stay.

Just spoken to a manager at Medibank, He said that is the correct price for top cover as the 489 visa on there system now comes under the 457. SHOCKING PRICE? looking like ill stick with Medicare and take my chances

That is a $480.50 month. It was a girl from the uk behind the desk as well. I think ill speak to someone else and get a second opinion

Druid, Verystormy HELP I have been here 5 weeks and been quoted today $480.50 top 85 working visa health insurance for me and my wife no kids, which i can't get my head around. The girl at medi bank said its because of my visa 489 skilled state sponsorship also got told it will go down to $ 227 when i get PR. to me this docent sound correct any advice?

Welcome to Perth, hope it you are having fun, Hows the Jet Lag?

Hi All Been in Mandurah nearly a week now, OMG what a beautiful place it is absolutely stunning. We have been looking around housing developments so far and going to the beach everyday(off course). Been looking online for work but not sent my Resume in anywhere yet as most of the jobs in my trade (Chef) are start straight away and i want to spent a couple of weeks chilling with my darling wife first. Went to Bunbury for the day very nice but quieter than Mandurah and a bit to far out for me.

Hi Rossmoyne, We don't have any children but our pets will follow in the next few months.

We ended up at Halls head beach which was nice, seen another Dolphin there

Looking at long term rentals soon, can anyone help me with places to avoid in Mandurah or even in the suburbs Thanks
