I am trying to sus out best areas in terms of living as an expat, finding work, etc...I agree, I don't want to be in areas with too many tourists as I would imagine that would make it harder...

Thank you for that. Yes, I applied for citizenship when living in Australia and so now hold duel nationality.

Safety aside there are other considerations. You say that you want to "go live with their father" Where is he living? Will he move to suit you? What job are you seeking? PM me if you want privacy

I would be a bit careful with the Gold Coast if it were me. I would prefer Brisbane personally or perhaps the Sunshine Coast. There are some lovely areas round Buderim . 

Thank you. Good idea.

Hi I am in the same situation I have. A New Zealand passport and heading over Jan 18' heading to Gold Coast, it really is frightening but having my daughter there with the only grandchildren I will ever have makes me pretty determined to do it. Basically I will have to rent but hope to b able to take a boarder in to help pay for it. I was over last Xmas and rang up and told that on my NZ passport I get the Medicare plus depending on my pension it would be made up to the Aus pension. You mention a TFN can I ask you what that is. I hope your return to Aus goes well, what area are you heading to.

Hi. I am a solo female 40+ looking to move to Brisbane. I already have an Australian passport having lived there many years ago. Any advice on areas of Brisbane that are affordable, good for finding and/or travelling to work and any other useful tips for the area?

I emigrated to Australia when my children were younger but came back to the UK when I got divorced. The children are now grown up and want to go back to live with their father. I am looking at relocating myself, fairly nearby, and have no clue where to start and need some advice. I have an Australian passport, recently renewed. I would appreciate advice re medicare, TFN, banking, finding a job....anything. I left nearly 10 years ago....do I need to reapply for a TFN as I dont have details anyway of one I had. So many questions, and dont know where to start. I have no one to help me as at the moment and cannot bear being on the opposite side of the world to my children. I hate the UK winters and have been considering relocating anyway for several years now. Any advice would be appreciated from affordable areas to live in Brisbane, finding work, etc.
