Hi

We have just had our visas approved, TTS 482 as my partner has a job ready. We have a little boy of 2 and 1 on the way.

I Am looking for any help/advice people can give to help us with the move

We are currently looking at properties to rent but struggling to find furnished accommodation to cover us until our furniture will arrive. Is this something that tends to not be available on oz?

We are looking at areas to live close to CBD on train. Looking at Ramsgate/ kogarah and a few other areas

Also - Medicare? As we won’t be covered for the birth on our private insurance as we won’t have been in the country long enough. Have I read correctly that medical will cover costs at public hospitals and is it easy enough to register on arrival to oz

Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated

Many many thanks

For a furnished apartment, look (google) for a "serviced apartment", other wise most apartments houses and units are not generally furnished.

I m not sure you already sorted out. You can look into Airbnb website and will be helpful. I m sure there are few furnished. Insurance is on arrival or you can get online before arrival.

If I read it correctly you are pregnant, congratulations.
I am not 100% sure that you will be covered to give birth in a public hospital.
