katenollie Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Moving to butler (well for the 1st month anyway) Where do I go to get tax file numbers and medicare set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Tax file number - apply online @ http://www.iar.ato.gov.au/ Medicare, you'd go to to the nearest medicare office to register - http://data.gov.au/dataset/location-of-medicare-offices/ You may be able to register straight away, sometimes, they say they can't register you until you've been here for a couple of weeks as they won't have your visa details on the system straight away.

Lindsaylou7 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Is it possible to apply for your tax code whilst in the UK? Trying to avoid high tax costs when we arrive. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 No you can only apply for TFN once here. As a family of five applying for TFN when we arrived, 4 got more or less straight away. The other took a bit longer to come thru, no rhyme or reason for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
