New Zealand permanent resident wanting to move to Australia

It will be based on what country(ies) you have citizenship with, and what their agreement with Australia is.

any fed back on this question will be good as me and my family intend on making the big move to auz however my partner currently holds perminant residance and has done so for 24years we were unaware that he did not have citizenship as he came over on his mothers passport from samoa at the age of 3! what would the best steps to take first

Best thing is to get citizenship. If your partner is a permanent resident for those many years, then I dont think there will be any problem. It is enough if your partner gets citizenship. You can come with him to Aussie.

New Zealand permanent residents receive no special privileges in Australia. If you're not a NZ citizen, you will need to qualify for permanent residency as a skilled worker like everyone else from another country. If you then become a NZ citizen, you can then come to Australia to live and work without restriction under the new SCV scheme. But unfortunately your entitlements to social benefits like child assistance, unemployment benefits..etc are only available to permanent/citizen residents.

In short to your question is. If you want to move to Australia as a resident of NZ only, then you will need to apply for a working holiday visa.

I've been a NZ permanent resident for 13 years. We want to move to Australia really soon. My husband and our 5 kids are NZ citizens. Are we able to move to Australia now even though I'm a NZ permanent resident??

Every NZ Citizen automatically gains a SSV 444 as soon as they enter Australian shores. You are entitled to some government benefits (ie: CCB (Childcare), rent assistance etc) and also medicare. It allows you to live and work indefinitely but doesn't mean you are an Australian resident. You need to apply (i think after 2 consecutive years of living and working here in Australia) before you can consider applying for Permanent Residency. This is from years of research that I have learnt this information and going through it as well. Hope this helps.
