When an international student opens a bank account in Australia, it is pretty normal for the bank to ask you to apply and get a Tax File Number/TFN for tax purposes since interest from the bank is taxable (for more information on TFN, please refer <a href="http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/38760.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>). Hope this short explanation helps.

No fees for ATM withdraw if you take out more than 200, regardless of which bank's ATM you use. http://www.ingdirect.com.au/everyday/orangeeveryday.htm For mobile phone contracts AMAYSIM is pretty good (so I am told) for both pre-pay and pay as you go. Pretty cheap. Virgin is not bad either from my experience. http://www.amaysim.com.au/ http://www.virginmobile.com.au/ Some good info on public transport, tickets and so on: http://www.cityrail.info/tickets/which/mymulti_day And if you want to find your way anywhere: http://131500.com.au/ In terms of bank account commonwealth is easy because there is one on campus, however I have an account with ING and it is pretty good.
