Who is this companion for?

Anyone landing in Australia, on any visa, from any country. It is the universal post-arrival playbook, and it pairs with every Australia Ready guide.

What is the single most important task?

Apply for your TFN on day one, it is free and takes minutes. Without it, employers must withhold at 47 per cent until it is fixed.

Does it cover renting?

In detail: applications without local references, condition-report photography, bond lodgement rights, and the scams that target new arrivals.

Why this guide

The first week in Australia is administrative, and the order matters: TFN before the first payday or 47 per cent of it is withheld, bank account before the savings move, Medicare or OVHC before anyone gets sick. This companion is the day-by-day playbook for weeks one to twelve, universal to every visa and country, and built to pair with any Australia Ready guide or stand alone if arrival is the part you need.
