Question

Do aussies get benefits in NZ? Dole etc? Also can they become Kiwis if so what`s the critieria for them?

Answer 1

aussies who move permanantly to nz are entitled to a limited amount of benifits from winz, dole is not one of them, up until a few years ago we use to be able to travel to and from either country and get the benefits as we pleased but they put a stop to that, too many of us kiwis moving to oz and going straight on the dole i think.as for aussies getting nz citizenship, i think you can apply after four years of permanent residency, but you are legally allowed to live in nz without any visas etc.anyway as for benefits etc go on the winz website www.winz.govt.nz it's the nz version of centrelink here in oz

Answer 2

i dunno about the dole but australians pay the local fees for university

and it is very very easy to be a citizen
