Thank you for the info. I think citizenship is the first thing to sort out for me. We will leave the majority of our savings and super over here in Australia, the exchange rate to the pound is awful. We aren't looking for any benefits when / if we move back. We are both young(ish) professionals so work shouldn't be too much of a problem, plus, neither of us are afraid of hard work so we'll take what we can, much like when we moved to Australia.

hello everyone. New person here, so please forgive me if my questions have been asked numerous times before. Some background first... I'm English and moved to Melbourne 8 years ago with my then girlfriend now wife. She is English by birth but an Australian citizen, I'm just a perm.resident. We recently had our son, so he is Australian by birth. Now, I am intent on moving home to London, my wife is almost on the same page, but we don't really know what to do to get home! As far as I can see, we need to get our son a British passport? and I need to pay back into the National Insurance for the years I have missed contributing too? Is that it? it seems a lot easier than the months of work and mounds of paperwork we needed when we moved to Australia. Any light that can be shed or assistance would really be appreciated. Oh, we don't have a specific timeframe, but within 12 months is the plan/goal. Many thanks in advance LC
