What should new immigrants pay attention to when living in Australia?

Many new Australian immigrants will be busy when they first arrive in Australia, but they will be very happy. After getting off the plane and out of the airport, there are many formalities to be done.

Do it after landing.

1. Go to centrelink to handle various benefits, such as children attending kindergarten (childcare benefits/discounts, etc.). ) and rental subsidies.

2. Driving license (driver's license, see below).

3. Bank card (see below).

4. Medical insurance.

driving/driver's licence

There are several grades: Learner(L), prossonal1(p red, abbreviated as red P), prosonal 2(P green, abbreviated as green P) and Full(F). This applies to cars, vans, motorcycles, etc. Test the knowledge first (the computer test is simple and easy to pass) L (the speed of learning to drive is 80 per hour), and put the L sign on the rear of the car (you can't drive alone, people who need F are beside you). Under 25 years old, 1 year old, over 25 years old, no need to wait. Driving test (road test, complicated, watching) P 1, speed 90/h), you can drive alone. After that, I will take P2 (speed 100). Then get an F (full) and drive casually. If you have been driving in China for more than 3 years, you can come here directly to take the test F.

Australian human geography

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, opposite to China in the northern hemisphere. For example, it is winter in China and summer in Australia. Most parts of Australia are very hot and there are many deserts. In summer in Australia, Sydney is far from the equator, and the temperature is over 40 degrees, not to mention Darwin, which is closest to the equator. You can go to the Gold Coast and other places to play with water in spring, summer and autumn. There is a big hole in the ozone layer in Australia, and the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong, but people here like to bask in the sun, so many Australians have skin diseases. If you are at the seaside, it is strongly recommended that you wear sunscreen, SPF50, before going out.

prescribe a diet

Do as Romans do in Rome. Here we usually eat bread in the morning or bake bread directly, or eat it with various ingredients. Every family needs milk, and milk is cheap, 1 yuan 1 liter. The quality of dairy products such as milk and cheese in Australia is very popular, so many dishes have the shadow of cheese, including breakfast. At lunch, many people continue to eat sandwiches, toast and pasta. The staple food depends on your own taste. All kinds of meat in Australia, such as beef and mutton, are famous, delicious and cheap. Australia is surrounded by the sea, and seafood is naturally rich and good. (Lobster) Although the king crab doesn't eat it every day, it eats it every chance. Seafood is great.

medical treatment

If you get a medical insurance card, you can see a doctor for free (the medicine is paid by yourself, which is more expensive). Emergency treatment and hospitalization are free, but it usually takes a long time. To see a doctor here, you usually go to see GP (General Practitioner), if it is equivalent to a community hospital in China. GP can go to the hospital for emergency treatment without opening the door. You can buy private medical insurance, so you don't have to wait too long to go to a private hospital, and doctors can choose at will.
