You’re going to need an Australian bank account to find work, as employers won’t pay into your home (overseas) account. You will also avoid expensive withdrawal and transfer fees. You will need a fixed address (not a hostel) to apply for your bank account, so if you don’t have a permanent place to live yet, set up a TCP Mailing Address.
Travellers Contact Point can set-up your Aussie Bank Account on your behalf. Purchase any Sydney Arrival Package and we'll arrange your bank account and other 'arrival essentials' including your Taxfile Number and permanent mailing address.
