TAX FILE NUMBER

You need a tax file number to work in Australia.

We can do this at no charge if you want us to.

Please come to reception and ask, bring your passport too.

MEDICARE CARD

In Australia there are 2 kinds of doctors, those that bulk bill (free because government pays the doctor) and those that charge you.

To see a bulk bill doctor you need a Medicare card.

If you are from UK, Belgium, Finland, Malta, Netherlands, NZ, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Slovenia or Sweden it’s free.

MOBILE PHONE

I’m personally with Vodafone so it’s easy to recommend.

There is also a Vodafone store 2 doors down from Bondi Beach Backpackers so problems can be fixed easy.

Other options are Optus and Telstra plus a ton of online ones.

Free Vodafone and Optus sim cards on reception wall, just help yourself.

You can get credit at the post office or the Vodafone shop or online.
