To get the Ashes Boxing Day Test 2025 Tickets, go to https://marketplace.ticketek.com.au/ website. This is the only official resale site. Do not use Viagogo or Gumtree, as those tickets are often cancelled or fake.

The 2025 Boxing Day Test (Australia vs. England, 4th Ashes Test) is fast approaching, and because it is an Ashes year, demand is extremely high.

Here is the current ticket status as of today, December 5, 2025:


1. Ticket Availability (Official Status)

Tickets are sold exclusively through Ticketek.

  • Day 1 (Dec 26): đź”´ SOLD OUT (“Allocation Exhausted”).

  • Day 2 (Dec 27): đź”´ SOLD OUT (Allocation Exhausted).

  • Day 3 (Dec 28): 🟡 Limited Availability (Selling fast; mostly restricted view or single seats left).

  • Day 4 (Dec 29): 🟢 Available (Good availability).

  • Day 5 (Dec 30): 🟢 Available (Tickets are usually cheap, often gold coin donation or low cost, but play is not guaranteed).


2. How to Get Tickets Now (The “Sold Out” Workarounds)

Since Days 1 and 2 are sold out, you have three options to get in:

A. Ticketek Marketplace (The Safe Way)

  • This is the only official resale site. Do not use Viagogo or Gumtree, as those tickets are often cancelled or fake.

  • Keep refreshing the Ticketek Marketplace site. Fans who can no longer attend will list their tickets here at face value (capped price).

  • Tip: Listings often pop up in the week leading up to the match (Dec 19–24) as people’s plans change for Christmas.

B. Watch for “Operational Releases”

  • The MCG and Cricket Australia often release small batches of held tickets (e.g., sight-screen holds, unused corporate seats) roughly 24–48 hours before the match.

  • Check the main Ticketek page every morning at around 10:00 AM AEDT starting December 23rd.

C. Premium Experiences (If budget allows)

  • Standard seats are gone, but corporate hospitality packages (e.g., The Boundary Social, Cricket Club dining) may still have spots. These are significantly more expensive ($500+) but guarantee entry.

3. Important Match Details

  • Dates: December 26–30, 2025

  • Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

  • Gate Opening: Typically 9:00 AM AEDT (Play starts at 10:30 AM).

  • Digital Tickets: The MCG is almost entirely mobile-only now. Ensure you have the Ticketek app downloaded.


Recommendation:

Go to Ticketek Marketplace right now and set an alert or keep the tab open. If you just want to experience the atmosphere, buying a Day 3 ticket immediately is your safest bet before they sell out too.

The 2025/26 Ashes series is currently underway. ABC Listen App: The official government broadcaster. Look for the “ABC Grandstand” station.

1. How to Listen Live (Audio Only)

If you want to listen to the radio commentary (the classic way to follow cricket), you have several options. Note that the Australian apps may be geo-blocked if you are trying to access them from India without a VPN.

  • ABC Listen App: The official government broadcaster. Look for the “ABC Grandstand” station.

  • SEN App: Commercial sports radio (Sports Entertainment Network).

  • Triple M: Commercial rock/sport station.

  • Cricket Australia Live App: This app aggregates the radio streams (ABC, SEN, Triple M) into one place.


2. How to Watch in Australia (If you have access)

If you are in Australia (or have a way to access Australian services), the rights are split between Free-to-Air and Paid TV.

  • Free-to-Air TV: Channel 7 (Broadcasts every Test match live).

  • Free Streaming: 7plus (The app for Channel 7). Note: This is strictly geo-blocked to Australia.

  • Paid Streaming (4K/No Ads): Kayo Sports or Foxtel.

3. How to Watch in India

Since you are in Kerala, you cannot use the Australian apps (7plus/ABC) without a VPN. The official broadcaster for the Ashes in India is the Star Sports Network.

  • TV Channel: Star Sports 1 or Star Sports Select (Check your local DTH listings).

  • Streaming App: Disney+ Hotstar (Recently merged under the JioStar brand, but the Hotstar app is the primary platform for this series).


Current Match Status

  • Match: 2nd Test (Day/Night Pink Ball Test)

  • Venue: The Gabba, Brisbane

  • Status: IN PROGRESS (December 4–8, 2025)

  • Local Time Note: Because this is a Day/Night test in Brisbane, play starts later in the day.


Recommendation:

If you are in India, open the Disney+ Hotstar app or tune into Star Sports. If you specifically want the Australian radio commentary (which is often better), try the ABC Listen app, but you may need a VPN set to Australia if it doesn’t load.

The prefix 0468 most likely belongs to a mobile phone from one of two countries, depending on where you are located: In Australia, 04 is the standard prefix for all mobile phones.

1. Australia (Most Likely)

In Australia, 04 is the standard prefix for all mobile phones.

  • Provider: The 0468 range was primarily allocated to Optus or providers using the Optus network (like Amaysim). However, because of Mobile Number Portability, the owner of the number may have switched to a different carrier (like Telstra or Vodafone).

  • Cost: This is a standard mobile number. It is not a premium rate (1900) number, so calling it costs the same as calling any other mobile phone in Australia.


2. Belgium

If you are in Europe, 0468 is a mobile prefix assigned to the network operator Telenet (owned by Liberty Global).

  • Like in Australia, the user may have ported this number to another Belgian network.

Type

Likely Original Carrier

Notes

Australia Mobile Optus (most common) Standard mobile number. Safe to call if you know the person.
Belgium Mobile Telenet Standard mobile number.
UK/US N/A Invalid 04 is not a valid mobile prefix in the UK (which uses 07) or the US (where numbers cannot start with 0).

Safety Warning

If you received a missed call from an 0468 number you don’t recognize:

  • Don’t call back immediately if it rang only once (this can be a “Wangiri” scam designed to get you to call back).

  • Check the full number: If the number is Australian, it should have 10 digits total (e.g., 0468 xxx xxx).

To use BPAY with Commonwealth Bank (whether you want to pay a bill using your CommBank account or pay money into a CommBank loan/card), here is the essential information you need.

1. How to pay a bill (Using the CommBank App)

If you have a bill (e.g., electricity, phone) and want to pay it using your CommBank account:

  1. Log in to the CommBank App.

  2. Tap Pay (bottom center) > BPAY.

  3. Tap + (top right) to add a new biller.

  4. Enter the Biller Code and Reference Number (found on your bill).

  5. Enter the amount and tap Pay.

2. CommBank Biller Codes (Paying into CommBank)

If you are transferring money from another bank to pay off a CommBank credit card or loan, use these details:

Product

Biller Code

Reference Number

Credit Card 1818 Your 16-digit Card Number
Home Loan 55566 Your Loan Account Number
Personal Loan 55566 Your Loan Account Number

Also Read : Darktide Error 5002

3. Processing Times (The “6pm Rule”)

  • Before 6:00 pm (Sydney/Melb Time) on Business Days: The payment is usually processed the same day.

  • After 6:00 pm, Weekends, or Public Holidays: The payment will be processed on the next business day.

    • Note: Even if CommBank sends it immediately, the receiving company (e.g., your electricity provider) may take 1–2 extra days to update their system.

4. Common Troubleshooting

  • “Limit Exceeded”: The default daily BPAY limit is usually $2,000 or $10,000. You can increase this instantly in the app:

    • Go to Profile (top left) > Settings > Payment Limits > BPAY.

  • “Invalid Biller Code”: Double-check you haven’t confused the “Biller Code” (usually 4–6 digits) with the “Ref Number” (usually longer).

  • Mistaken Payment: BPAY payments cannot be cancelled once sent. If you paid the wrong person, you must contact CommBank immediately to request a “mistaken payment investigation” (though a refund is not guaranteed).

Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) conducts planned maintenance periodically, which may cause temporary unavailability or limited access to some services like online banking, transfers, and payments. 

1. Current Status Overview

  • NetBank & App: âś… Online

  • EFTPOS/Merchant Terminals: âś… Online

  • ATMs: âś… Online


2. Upcoming Scheduled Maintenance

You might be seeing a warning about future maintenance. CommBank has scheduled work for this coming weekend:

  • Date: Sunday, December 7, 2025

  • Time: 2:00 am – 7:30 am AEDT

  • Impact: Services like International Money Transfers, BPAY, and some card settings will be temporarily unavailable during this window.

3. Troubleshooting: If You Cannot Log In

Since the servers are up, try these steps to fix the connection on your end:

  • Update the App: CommBank often blocks logins from outdated versions of the app for security. Go to the App Store/Google Play and ensure you are on the latest version.

  • Toggle Connection: Switch your phone to Airplane Mode for 10 seconds and then off again. This forces your phone to grab a fresh signal tower or ISP route.

  • Try NetBank via Browser: If the app is failing, try logging in via a web browser (e.g., Chrome or Safari) at www.commbank.com.au. If this works, the issue is strictly with the app installation.

  • VPN Issues: If you use a VPN, turn it off. Banks often block commercial VPN IP addresses for fraud prevention.

Get 24/7 support

📞 The Direct Line (International)

  • Number: +61 2 9999 3283

  • Hours: Open 24/7 for overseas callers.

  • Cost Saving Tip: CommBank accepts Reverse Charge calls on this number. To avoid high international call rates from India, you can call your local international operator (from a landline) and ask to place a reverse charge call to this number.

🗣️ How to skip the robot (IVR Shortcuts)

When you call, the automated system (Ceba) will ask you what you are calling about. To get to a human for login help faster:

  1. When asked for the reason, clearly say: “NetBank Login” or “Digital Banking Support.”

  2. If it asks for your client number and you don’t have it handy (or if that’s the part that is failing), do not enter it repeatedly. Wait for the prompt to say “I don’t have it” or simply stay silent—this usually forces the system to transfer you to a human for manual verification.

📱 Alternative: In-App Call (If you can open the app)

If you can open the CommBank app but just can’t log in (e.g., you are locked out of NetBank but the app loads):

  1. Tap Help (top right corner) on the login screen.

  2. Tap Message Us or Contact Us.

  3. This connects you to support as an “authenticated” user if your device is recognized, which is often faster than calling.

]]>
A Working with Children Check (WWCC) in Victoria is a mandatory screening process for anyone who engages in “child-related work.” It assesses your criminal history and professional conduct to ensure you do not pose an unjustifiable risk to children.

Here is a guide on how the check works, the costs involved, and how to apply.


1. Do You Need a Check?

You generally need a WWCC if you meet all of the following criteria:

  • You are an adult (18+).

  • You work or volunteer with children (under 18 years old).

  • Your work involves direct contact with children (physical, face-to-face, written, or oral).

  • Your contact with children is a regular part of your duties (not incidental).

  • You work in one of the specific occupational fields listed under the Act (e.g., schools, coaching, religious organisations, clubs).

Note: Teachers registered with the VIT (Victorian Institute of Teaching) and sworn Victoria Police officers are generally exempt, as they undergo separate screening.

2. Costs (Current for 2025-26)

The fee structure depends on whether you are doing paid work or volunteer work.

Type of Check Application Fee Renewal Fee Notes
Volunteer Check Free Free Cannot be used for paid work.
Employee Check $135.50 $102.50 Can be used for both paid and volunteer work.
  • Tax Deduction: If you require the check for your employment, you may be able to claim the cost as a tax deduction.

  • Transitioning: If you hold a Volunteer Check and move to paid work, you must upgrade to an Employee Check. This involves paying the fee (usually the difference in cost).


3. How to Apply

The application process is handled primarily online through Service Victoria.

Step 1: Verify your Identity

  • You need a smartphone to verify your identity using the Service Victoria app, OR

  • You can verify your identity at a participating Australia Post outlet if you cannot do it online.

Step 2: Complete the Application

  • Visit the Service Victoria website or use the app.

  • Fill in your personal details and 5 years of address history.

  • Select the codes for the occupational fields you will be working in (e.g., Code 42 for Clubs/Associations).

  • Enter the details of the organisation(s) you will be working for.

Step 3: Submission & Assessment

  • For Employees: Pay the fee online via credit card/PayPal.

  • For Volunteers: Submit for free.

  • If you did not verify your ID online, you will get a barcode to take to Australia Post to finalize the lodgement and have your photo taken.


4. After You Apply

  • Processing Time: It usually takes 3 to 12 weeks to process, though many are faster.

  • Working While Waiting: In most cases, you can start working once you have your application receipt (Application Number), but some organisations may require the final card before you start.

  • Digital Card: Once approved, you can access a digital WWCC card immediately in the Service Victoria app. You will also receive a physical card in the mail.


5. Validity & Renewal

  • Duration: The check is valid for 5 years.

  • Renewal: You can renew your check from 6 months before it expires to 3 months after.

  • Automatic Monitoring: During the 5 years, your records are continuously monitored. If you are charged with a relevant offence, your check may be suspended or revoked immediately.

Is 02 9169 9769 a scam or legitimate caller

02 9169 9769 is primarily legitimate, associated with GoDaddy for customer follow-ups on services like domain registration and hosting, but user reports include scam-like experiences.​

Legitimate Reports

Multiple users confirm calls from this Sydney, Australia number (+61 2 9169 9769) as genuine GoDaddy outreach, such as checking service satisfaction without requesting sensitive info like logins or payments. These interactions are described as courteous by long-term customers, aligning with GoDaddy’s practices.​

Scam Concerns

Some reports flag suspicious behavior, including silent calls, abrupt hang-ups, threats, or demands for credit card details—red flags for scams impersonating GoDaddy. Accents, poor communication, or combative tones have led others to label it spam or fraudulent.​

Recommendations

Verify callers by contacting GoDaddy directly via their official site rather than returning the call. Legitimate companies never solicit personal data unsolicited; block and report if suspicious.

How do I verify a call from Australian Red Cross Lifeblood

To verify a call from Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, you should first ask the caller for the name of the agency they are representing. If you have any doubt about the legitimacy of the call, hang up and directly contact Australian Red Cross Lifeblood yourself on their official number 1800 RED CROSS (1800 733 276).

They will confirm if the call was genuine. Australian Red Cross also advises donors that they only call people who have previously expressed interest or opted in to be contacted, so unsolicited calls should be treated cautiously.

Additionally, using their official self-service system or app to manage appointments and communications can help ensure you are dealing with authentic contact from Lifeblood. Always be cautious about sharing personal information unless your identity and the caller’s legitimacy are verified.

The phone number (03) 9955 3000 is an Australian landline number associated with Melbourne/Victoria, often reported in connection with calls claiming to be from ANZ Bank.

Some people report legitimate ANZ-related callbacks or dispute/credit-card enquiries from this number, while many others report scam or spoofed calls pretending to be ANZ and asking for personal or banking details.

Because scammers can easily spoof real-looking numbers, you should treat any unexpected call from this number as suspicious: do not share personal or banking information, and instead hang up and call ANZ using a verified number from their official website or your bank card if you need to check anything.


Why are they calling?

If you receive a call from this number, it is usually regarding:

  • An overdue payment on a credit card, personal loan, or mortgage.

  • An account that has gone into arrears (negative balance).

  • A reminder to update payment details.


⚠️ Safety Warning: Watch out for “Spoofing”

Banks are the #1 target for caller ID spoofing. Scammers can use technology to make their phone number appear as 03 9955 3000 on your screen, even if they are calling from overseas.

How to verify if it’s really NAB:

  1. Do not pay over the phone immediately: If the caller becomes aggressive or demands you transfer crypto or buy gift cards, hang up. NAB will never ask for that.

  2. Check your App: Log in to the official NAB app or Internet Banking. If you genuinely have an overdue payment or an alert, it will usually be flagged there.

  3. Call them back on a public number: Instead of pressing redial, call NAB’s main line on 13 22 65 (or the number on the back of your debit card) and ask to be transferred to the Collections team.

How to check the number

  • Look up the number on trusted reverse-lookup or caller-ID services (for example, widely used apps and websites that let you see user reports on that number) to see if others have flagged it as spam or linked it to a known business.​

  • Search the number in a web browser together with keywords like “scam” or the claimed company name (for example, “03 9955 3000 ANZ”) to see recent reports, but still treat results as indicative only, not proof.

The number (02) 9266 2915 is widely reported as a legitimate landline used by Australian Red Cross Lifeblood (the Red Cross Blood Service) to contact blood donors about appointments and donation requests in Australia.​

Who is calling?

  • Multiple reverse-lookup sites list 02 9266 2915 as associated with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood / Red Cross Blood Service, described as a non-profit or service call rather than a scam.​

  • Callers are usually reported as discussing blood donation bookings, reminders, or requests to schedule another donation.​

Is it safe?

  • Reports generally classify the number as “legitimate” or “non-profit,” though some people find the frequency of calls annoying or unsolicited.​

  • If unsure, you can hang up and instead contact Lifeblood using the official numbers listed on their website’s contact page to confirm any booking or request.​

What you can do

  • If you are a blood donor and comfortable with this, you can answer the call or call back via an official Lifeblood contact channel to manage your appointment.​

  • If you do not wish to be contacted, ask them to update your communication preferences or block the number on your phone; several users report doing this when calls felt too frequent.

What reviews do Australians give for 02 9266 2915

Australians give mixed but overall more positive-than-negative reviews to 02 9266 2915, generally recognising it as the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood (blood donation) number but often criticising the call frequency and style.​

Overall rating and perception

  • One large review site shows the number with an overall positive rating, with around 60+ ratings and close to that many written reviews, categorised as a non‑profit organisation rather than a scam.​

  • Another Australian reverse‑lookup site describes it as a legitimate Red Cross Blood Service contact, while noting that people’s experiences range from helpful to annoying or suspicious.​

Positive reviews

  • Many reviewers say the calls are from Australian Red Cross / Lifeblood to schedule or remind them about blood donation appointments, and several donors explicitly confirm the calls were genuine and matched prior SMS notices.​

  • Positive comments often emphasise that answering can help organise donations when blood supplies are low, and some users encourage others to pick up if they are donors.​

Negative and neutral reviews

  • A significant number of users complain about repeated or unsolicited calls, sometimes saying they have asked not to be contacted or that calls come at inconvenient times, making it feel like harassment or telemarketing.​

  • Some reviews mention silent calls, no voicemail, or hearing only breathing on the line, which makes a few people suspicious or uncomfortable, even though the number itself is still generally assessed as legitimate.​

How Australians suggest handling it

  • Common suggestions in reviews include: blocking the number if the calls feel intrusive, asking Red Cross/Lifeblood to update contact preferences, or ignoring the call and instead calling back via official contact details listed on the Lifeblood or Red Cross website to confirm donations.​

  • Several reviewers stress that, while the cause is important, people should still treat any unexpected call cautiously and verify through official channels if unsure.
