Hi,

BrisbaneBuddha is correct. This is some text from the University of Canterbury web site for their new international/Australian students...

"The following information applies to Australian Citizens and residents of Australia with full and valid Australian Returning Residents Visas. If you are an Australian resident who has entered New Zealand, you will have been given an indefinite New Zealand Residence Permit by immigration at the New Zealand border when you entered the country. This means that you are a New Zealand resident. Note: If you are in Australia on an Australian Temporary Residence Visa you do not qualify for a New Zealand Residence Permit at the New Zealand border"

So basically when you arrive at the NZ airport you automatically get NZ residency that allows you to live and work :-)
