Answer 1

depends where you are from    kiwis dont need visas in aussie  we get resident rights straight away  after about 3 weeks you can even get family support sorted once you produce a utilities account (power or phone) to show you are renting or own house

i came over in jan and family came in march and we have had no trouble with anything   the only thing is hire purchase and credit cards etc take about 2 years of residency to obtain  

Answer 2

If you are from NZ you will be right getting into Australia, so much work there and who is going to do it??

Definitely not the Australians, they don't work! There is a reason why Australia has overtaken USA in the most obese nation stakes!

Answer 3

Firstly you'll have to learn the difference between New Zealand and Australia.

In kilometres its like the difference between Britain and Iceland, or Spain and Russia.

In customs and way of life it's like the difference between USA and Canada.

Suggest you google Australian Government sites about immigration.

Answer 4

Forget Knowledge you need a world map so you can see that Australia and New Zealand are two separate countries BOZZO

Answer 5

If you are a UK citizen I would direct you towards this website:

Look in the discussion form and locate the Australia section.  Ask any questions you have in there.  You will find it really helpful and you will also find others with the same questions.

Good luck
