Studying in Australia requires a work visa first.

How to solve the problems of studying abroad, driving, medical care and communication in Australia?

First, the problem of working.

Get a work visa before going to work. International students working in Australia must first obtain a work visa and then apply for a tax number at the Inland Revenue Department. Remember that July is the tax refund month every year, and you must apply for a tax refund if you buy something or work less than 6000 yuan. Looking for a job in a big city, you can find an intermediary to find a job, and the agency fee is a bit. China workers seldom pay taxes, which is very different from western workers. The work in the school is good, but it is rare. Temporary jobs such as research assistants and tutors have the highest salary.

Second, the problem of driving.

Be careful about buying a car and driving. China driver's license is fine. You can translate and notarize the driver's license in China and take it to Australia for use, or you can drive directly after translation in the local RTA (Australian Transportation Bureau). The cost is around 50 yuan. There are many factors to consider when buying a car. You'd better find someone who knows cars. You must bring basic insurance, and you'd better know a little about car maintenance, because the maintenance labor there is very expensive. If it is the best local driver's license, it can be used as an ID card without carrying a passport with you.

Third, medical problems.

You can bring your own medicine. The medical expenses of international students can ensure that foreign students can prescribe medicines for minor illnesses such as colds during their study, and other medicines are not free. Dental care is very expensive and does not belong to medical insurance. It is best to look after your teeth abroad. It is suggested that everyone should prepare some daily medicines, especially those for mosquito bites in summer. When the medical insurance is renewed, it must be paid every year.

Fourth, communication problems.

The long-distance charge is low. According to the cost of mobile phones, you can choose different companies to sign contracts. There are always companies with free time discount networks. Generally speaking, many students in China choose OPTUS card, which provides more free services. There are many international long-distance telephone cards in each city, and the rates often change, but overall, the fees are still relatively cheap, and the lowest call back to China is about 0. 1 yuan/minute.
