New Zealander Australian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Australian English · New Zealand English ·
Maori

New Zealander Australian is an Australian who has origins in New Zealand, as well as New Zealand migrants and expatriates based in Australia. Migration from New Zealand to Australia is a very common phenomenon, given Australia and New Zealand's cultural links. In 2012, there were 648,000 New Zealand citizens residing in Australia.

Under various arrangements since the 1920s, there has been a free flow of people between Australia and New Zealand.[2] Since 1973 the informal Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement has allowed for the free movement of citizens of one nation to the other. The only major exception to these travel privileges is for individuals with outstanding warrants or criminal backgrounds who are deemed dangerous or undesirable for the migrant nation and its citizens. In recent decades, many New Zealanders have migrated to Australian cities such as Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.[3] Since 1994 New Zealand passport holders are issued with special category visas on arrival in Australia. Although this agreement is reciprocal there has been resulting significant net migration from New Zealand to Australia.[4] In 2001 there were eight times more New Zealanders living in Australia than Australians living in New Zealand.[3] Many such New Zealanders include Maori Australians.

Transfer Australian Super to KiwiSaver

Transfer Australian Super to KiwiSaver | Trans Tasman Migration | Scoop.it

Have you worked in Australia and contributed to the ASG (Australian Superannuation Guarantee) system?

 

Under current rules, Kiwis who have worked in Australia and who return to New Zealand to live must leave their compulsory superannuation savings in Australia until retirement age.

 

On 31 May 2013 the Australian Government completed legislative steps that will allow returning Kiwis to transfer their Aussie superannuation savings back to New Zealand—provided the funds are transferred to a registered KiwiSaver scheme. Australians living in New Zealand and contributing to KiwiSaver accounts will likewise be able to transfer their KiwiSaver savings to a complying Aussie superannuation fund.
