Top Tips
| 01 | Consider your commute when choosing where to live. Look for convenient access to roads or public transport. |
| 02 | Entry to public schools is determined by where you live, so you’ll need to base your housing search on the school’s district. |
| 03 | Secondhand shopping for furniture, household items and other necessities is very popular. Garage sales and online classifieds can reduce your costs. |
| 04 | Sydney can be overwhelming and joining a local community group will help you meet people and make friends with common interests. |
| 05 | Overseas calling cards are the most economical way to talk with friends and family back home. You can talk for less than .05c a minute with some cards |
