Filipino Communities in Melbourne

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a place for my filipina friend to live in Melbourne. She is in her 60's, does not drive and has ok english. Can anyone recommend a suburb, probably in the west that would be a nice place for her to live? Somewhere with good access to public transport, healthcare and other filipino friends?

Thanks for your help.

Hello there, I think Western part (Werribee area )is considered one of the cheapest and alot of Filipinos live here. ;)

Hi everyone.

I will be on Melbourne by 3rd week of May and I would love to meet a lot of my kababayan. This would be my first time to visit Melbourne for work and I'm hoping for a warm welcome for all the FIlipinos. You can add me on facebook icalex_bibiano[at]yahoo.com.

See you soon,
Ivan

There are apartment rentals close to Richmond which is about a 15 minute ride via public transport.. Rent would be around $250-$300 max. If that is way out of your budget, you can also opt to share apartment with a friend and split the rent and bills. Rule of thumb is Weekly Rental x 52 weeks divided by 12 months equals your monthly rental fee. :-)

I have no idea pa kc sa mga places jan ehh.
But anyway 300 is way to xpensive for me.
Khit share house nlng po sana if theres any :-) for short term po .
Thanks for the info po :/) have a good day

Hello Fely! I'm coming to Melbourne this coming august 20th 2014 to have my internship at Grand Hyatt. Naghahanap po ako ng accommodation. Baka po may alam kayo or naghahanap ng kashare pwede nyo po ako irefer. You can email me po: [email protected] or viber: 504-758-8228. Thank you po!

Jamie,

Viber: 508-758-8228 (????) what's the country code? i don't think this is a valid viber number.
Anyways, it is prudent not to post your personal mobile number online.

All the best   :)

Hi my fellow kababayans. I will be studying in VU in Feb. My husband is coming po w/ me. I hope you can let me hang around in this forum and hopefully learn new things about living in Melbourne. I also hope to find a place to stay. My agency told us something about an Australian family hosting Filipino new comers whereun complete na raw w/ food, internet and all. I'm just worried baka medyo mahal. =) Thanks po sa mga magrereply!
