Get set up for Australia

Banking

Open a local account soon after you arrive in Australia so you can get paid and skip foreign-card fees. Most banks let you start the application online before you land.

Providers: Wise, Revolut, CBA, Westpac, NAB, ANZ

Mobile & connectivity

Set up a Australia number or eSIM for data and calls. The major networks have the widest coverage; budget MVNOs run on the same towers for less.
