Bank account and money transfer while on WHV

[atomicjake]

Im going to be in OZ from November on a WHV.

I have money in various place at home (Natwest current account, NS&I bonds and cash).

I obviously dont want to you my nawest card as it will cos me a fortune in fees.

Firstly, can i open up a bank account in OZ as i may not have a permannt address?
Secondly, is it as simple as just transfering money from one account to another?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jake, yes you can open an account with NAB, you can then use Moneycorp to transfer your money which would be fee free if you tell them you are a PIO member.
You dont need a permanent address to open your bank account and you can do it online before you go.
