Have you been granted your Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) and are preparing to move to Australia?
As with any big move, once you arrive in Australia, there will be expenses to pay. You can expect costs to include rent and a rental bond for accommodation, and connecting your electricity, gas and other utilities to your accommodation. You will need to budget to cover these expenses until you get your first paycheque.
For more information about the costs of moving to Australia, you can visit our website: https://www.pev.gov.au/moving-australia/costs-of-moving-australia
The PEV Support Service is hosting pre departure information sessions, which cover key information to help you prepare for life in Australia.
The sessions are delivered over two days. You will need to have completed the day one information session before you can attend day two. Register on our website: www.pev.gov.au
