This is me consolidating my agenda upon arrival in Australia. It'll be easier to refer to this list than to go through so many emails & websites. Some parts will be relevant for all migrants.
1. Tax File Number (TFN)
Webpage for application: http://www.iar.ato.gov.au/
Note: Must be in Australia to lodge an application.
2. Activate Bank Account (NAB)
Assigned Banker 1: Philip Le, philip.x.le@nab.com.au
Assigned Banker 2: Simon Tan, simon.c.tan@nab.com.au
Address: 129 James Street, Northbridge, Perth, WA 6003
Website for Internet Banking: http://www.nab.com.au/personal
Note: Contact banker at least 2 weeks prior to arrival to arrange for a meeting & activation of account.
3. Medicare & Centrelink
Website: http://www.humanservices.gov.au/
Note: Pick up Medicare application form at 1 of the Centrelink offices. Scroll all the way down on the website, select Find Us under General Information. There're several Centrelink & Medicare offices around Perth. For the application, you'll need a bank account number.
4. Convert To Australian Driving License
Website: http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/transferring-your-overseas-licence.asp
Note: Application form must be submitted in person with current overseas license, proof of identity, proof of WA residential address, document showing your signature & application fee. Photo to be taken at the licensing centre.
