My visa has been approved. Do I need something else in order to work in Australia?
Yes, the first thing to do is to ask for a Tax File Number (TFN, the Australian tax code) which offers you the possibility to work legally and be paid for your work. At the end of the fiscal year (June) you can get a refund of your TFN paid contributions.
You should then open a bank account to manage your money, receive salary and withdraw (no commissions). In our offices we can help you open a bank account for free.
You can also request the Australian Business Number that allows you to work on your own and be paid by hour.
