    Any Mummies in Sydney

    Hi Cutie, I am in Melb. Chose to study in Melb Uni 'cuz my dad studied here too, and he's got 2 cousins here. For peace of mind on his part I guess. I've been here since '93 (gasp!). Went back after graduation for a year plus before deciding a long distance relationship wasn't sustainable...

    Hi Christine, Good luck for your 1st bb! Cannot blame you for being gang chiong. I think cost of living generally is lower in Melb than Sydney, but higher than S'pore. Eating out there is definately more $$. Bowl of noodles easily A$10. So if you must, stuff yourself full of local food...

    Any Mummies in Sydney

    Hi Cutie, I believe so, but I have to check the criteria with the council when I get back. Heard they will also pay a visit to your house to ensure it is safety compliant. 4 is the max - don't have to take in if can't cope. I'm not as brave as you - my little one keeps me on my toes as it is...

    Hi Christine, I'm not sure about your eligibility for medicare as you're not holding a PR (?) In any case, check out the medicare website: http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/about/index.shtml Private insurance is only for hospital expenses, not the usual doctor visits My GP consultation...

    Hi Cutie, I've heard that some airlines will give each passenger 10kg more due to migration. Pls check though. Hi Christine, Sory to "interrupt" but thought I'd give my 2 cents worth. Companies in OZ don't usually provide medical - quite unheard of actually. You would have to take up...

    Any Mummies in Sydney

    Hi Cutie, I didn't have that much stuff when I went over - mainly personal stuff which I took on the plane. I had some stuff still there leftover from my uni days (rice cooker, TV, couch, bed, etc). Why not try DHL's jumbo (25kg)boxes? Fast, safe and door-to-door - no need to pick up from...

    Hi KKH, I'm currently on maternity leave and unfortunately will be going back to work sometime in May. Would love to be a SAHM given the choice - my bb gal just turned 5 months and going back to work would mean missing out on her milestones - so sad... Apart from missing family and good...

    Cutie, I'll be leaving at the end of the month (28th). Hope to be able to meet up before then. JSim, Probably not a good idea to take your fridge as it may not fit into your new kitchen. Most kitchens have built-in cabinets - don't want to waste your effort. Better to stock up on curry...

    Any Mummies in Sydney

    Hi, I live in Melbourne and am back for CNY. Would love to meet up with local mums with view to keep in contact in Melb. Child care is expensive in Melb, but only if you can get a place. The ones in and around the city are in short supply. They range from about A$50-A$75 after govt rebate.
