Red Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just and update... We were contacted by immigration SA again, they offered us the choice between the unit in Hawthorn and another slightly bigger one in Glandore!Just for interests sake, Hawthorn is a much nicer suburb...but if the bigger unit suits you then go for that I guess.Great that they could assist you,red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maloui Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi guys! We are truly blessed. Once again things have worked out, we got the email that we will have a place to stay when we land in Adelaide from immiSA. Just keeps getting better!!! When did you guys know where you will stay, and for how much? It seems only 10 days before arrival? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretorius Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi Maloui,We still do not know how much it will be, will let you know as soon as we know.

Maloui Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi Pretorius,Did you ask them where it will be, or do they let you know on their time schedule? Would be nice to have an approx idea, then you can start to familiarise yourself with the area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braaivleis Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Please is there no one else that can give some input?Hi we moved to Adelaide on 20 May 2009 and we used the government housing facilities. We got a home on Lower North East Road and it was excellent I really advice all new comers to make use of this facility. The home is fully furnished with washing amcking, heaters, micro, dishes, broom mop cutlery - all you need is bedding and food. The home we used was very neat and it was onthe bus route. Also use the meet and greet service a volunteer will pick you up from the airpor and take you to the they allocate to you. The next day the volunteer will come and take you to do your shopping apply for a tax file number and show you around. I really think these services are excellent I applied for them as soon as I got my visa and they allocated me a house within a week.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braaivleis Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi Desiree and Dax Thanks for the reply..problem is I have heard from other people on other sites that there is druggies living there? and people with other problems? I am not sure if I want to expose myself to this landing in a foreign country? I also don't know if this is true?Anyways I will check out the link thanksCHi on the form they would ask what area you would like to live in - just tell them near to the city - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 can i ask how far in advance they allocated you a house? i applied and sent them everything and they confirmed they received our application - thats it, and that we will be advised 3 weeks before we land - yikes.....i thought they allocate now for that date if there is available and then reconfirm 3 weeks before - any suggestions this adds stress for the move of what to plan etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantelle D Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hi ChandiThat is the main reason we decided not to take up the government housing option. You are actually suppose to arrange for back-up accomadation if they are unable to accomadate you...problem is you will have to pay a deposit for it and you will not get it back most places require 50% deposit...so it gets tricky.I know there is a caravan park in Adelaide in Woodcroft think they require $100 deposit if you will be willing to take a chance. But should the government then have a place for you, you will loose the deposit..And for us with small children the laundry option was a bit of a problem you can really go wash clothing for 1-3 hours with a 3yr old. (you might not get a place with a washing mashine)But I don't want to make you negative I haven't heard of anyone that applied that was not accomadated.When are you guys leaving?

CindyB Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thats the reason why we rather opted to stay in Woodcroft caravan park. Pm me your email adress then I can forward you the tarrifs and the deposit they required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
