Thanks guys, have decided to scrape the money together and have applied for all our passports

So after nearly 4 years in Brisbane we have realized that we are not living the dream and are only surviving here. We have sold up and are heading back to London in 3 weeks. Luckily we attended the ceremony and received our Citizenship last night. Before we leave i have a few queries that some of you might be able help with. We need to apply for Aus passports but as our money is all tide up with the move at the moment (flights, containers, car hire etc) we dont have the spare cash at this moment to fork out for the whole families passports. Is it ok to just leave on our British passports and apply for Oz passports in UK? Last night we signed on to the voters roll, do we need to notify them of a UK address once we have settled? Do we notify all the government departments (Drivers licence, medicare, ATO etc) that we no longer live here. Do they accept foreign address if i change them online? Thanks

Date applied: 26/09/16 City/Council area: Redland City Council Online / Paper: Online Date received the acknowledgement email: 29/09/16 Date of the Citizenship Test: 18/11/16 Date of ceremony: 09/03/17 Type of ceremony: Normal

From what i have read on the forums recently the time period has been short from receiving a case officer to everything been met and meds requested but mine has stayed unchanged since then?
