[senco-forum] Australia ( not SEN)

Hi

i assume you will be here in Australia on a working visa so you will have to
pay for schooling, if i was in that situation i would pay for private not
state! If you are in Oz on a permanent residency visa of some sort then
every thing is free. I guess your friends will also have to pay for all
their medical costs too. I suggest they try and get the company to pay for
these things particuarly education and healthcare.

Hope this clarifies things
