Answer 1

If you were born in NZ or are a NZ citizen you don't need any visa's etc.

New Zealanders in Australia
Key points:

· Most New Zealanders with a valid New Zealand passport can travel to Australia without applying for a visa before they leave. New Zealanders who have criminal convictions or a serious medical problem should check with the Australian Consulate-General before they travel.

· New Zealanders can live and work in Australia, but cannot obtain Australian social security unless they have Australian permanent residence. New Zealanders who moved to Australia after February 2001 have to formally apply to obtain permanent residence and pass the points test.

· New Zealanders are eligible for free emergency hospital treatment in Australia, but those without a Medicare card have to pay the full cost of any non-hospital treatment such as the cost of pharmaceuticals or doctors visits. Visitors should obtain travel insurance to cover these costs before arriving.

.Generally New Zealanders who live in Australia can obtain a Medicare card to cover or subsidise non-hospital costs. New Zealanders moving permanently to Australia should get travel insurance to cover these costs until they can get a Medicare card.

· New Zealanders can become Australian citizens without giving up their New Zealand citizenship. They have to obtain Australian permanent residence first, and must live in Australia as a permanent resident for at least two years before they can apply for citizenship.

· New Zealanders can generally use their New Zealand drivers licence in Australia for the first three months after they arrive, provided it has not expired or been suspended. After three months New Zealanders normally have to apply for a drivers licence from the authorities in the State or Territory where they live.
