Thank you, I thought so as well...

Hi,

I'm writing this on behalf a friend.

A friend residing in Australia has a disabled (cerebral palsy) sister living overseas who is presently being cared for by the parents.

When both parents pass away, is it possible for my friend to permanently bring over her sister and be her guardian/carer?

She (the disabled sister) will have enough money in her account so she wont be financially depended on my friend.

Thank you.

Hi

We live in Wellington Point, which personally I prefer to ormiston as there's a bit more going on, plus a little beach at the point. There are parts of Wellington Point that border ormiston allowing walk to school and walk to restaurants etc at Wellington Point.

Manly is also nice, and closer to the city, so depends where you're working. Raby Bay also good, Birkdale. Thornlands doesn't really have a centre, so less village feel, and Alex Hills  is on the rougher side. There's a train line to Brissie every 15 mins with stops at Manly, Birkdale, Wellington point and Ormiston. 

Theyre all good areas ?

Wellington Point...one of my favorite places too!  

So what do you exactly mean by "Alex Hills is on the rougher side"? We used to live in Cleveland and only passed through Alex Hill on the way to the city. We'll be moving back to the Redlands this coming October and since our daughter will be going to a college in Carina, we are thinking of living closer to that area. Alex Hill, not exactly one of my favorites as we would prefer Wellington Point/Ormiston/Cleveland etc, but we are also struggling to find a house with a pool (in all areas really) and Alex Hill is also on the list.

Thanks guys, if it's like what nicf said then it would be perfect for me. Will check it out.

I'm from Malta and as far as I know the double tax treaty was done in 1984

Thanks

Hi

Yeah, it seems that there is a double agreement. As I understand it, I will only pay tax in Australia. My queries really are more about what do I need to do for this to work, like TFN or ABN? Will the company need to register for PAYN and pay super and stuff like that.

I in fact send a message to ATO, no idea if they will answer If not, guess I'll need to find some tax lawer....

Cheers

Hi!

Hoping that there is a way to do this. I will be working in Australia remotely for an overseas company. They are not sure how all this work and neither do I, so we're trying to figure it out.

So of course I will be paying Tax in Australia, the company will be paying me monthly to my European bank account with no tax deducted. I already have a TFN number as was employed full time in Australia before.

Will I have to register for an ABN and work as a contractor (if even possible) or I can stay employed with them as I am? If so will they have to register with PAYM and pay super? Or I can do that?

Any information of how I can do this is appreciated!

Thanks

Hi

Is https://www.seek.com.au still the best job site in Australia? A quick C# search in Melbourne yielded 400 jobs, which doesn't seem that bad!

Interesting thread, thanks for bringing it up. Not sure if it was asked (too many posts to read!), but if my wife heads back to Europe with our daughter with my consent, does she need some kind of approval letter from me or there is no need?

Cheers
