Hi Rammygirl. Will definitely open normal account when I can but from what I understand I need to be able to prove Oz address before that account becomes live.  I can’t do this while living in AirB&B

Thanks everyone for your advice.  Wise definitely looks the way forward in the short term till I can prove Oz address and open a “normal” bank account

Hi. The family and I are moving to the southern Gold Coast early next year....finally!  I have secured a great job and flights, quarantine, initial accommodation (AirB&B) and everything is a go but opening a bank account is a nightmare.  I am coming 1st in early Jan to start the job and family following in March.  I have planned to AirB&B till the family arrive but am struggling to be able to show an address for bank opening.  I am Australian but have been away in the UK for 25 years and the bank accounts i did have are now closed.  Anyone found a solution to this issue?

Hi. We are considering a move to southern Gold Coast around Elanora with girls aged 13 & 11.  Both have different issues currently at school in UK and we are trying to judge how they may settle in?   How was the transition from UK to Oz schools?
