you may be required to show proof of these funds, i.e. bank statement,
credit card statement. Alternatively, you can transfer funds directly
to your Australian bank account that we will assist in opening, and
that bank statement will suffice.

office and ask for a visa label to be printed and placed in your passport.
The visa label is to prove to potential employers you have permission

by incidental employment.
