My partner is an Australian citizen and I'm a New Zealander. We had our two children in NZ but now after 5 years we are ready to move back to Australia.
Could anyone clarify our entitlements and assistance we would get when we arrive?? Our children are 3 years and 1 year old. I figure no assistance for myself, but unsure what else. Centrelink seems overwhelming compared to Winz.
Thank you in advance.
I am wondering this as well, hopefully there's someone that can help :)
Hey,
Im just applying for citizenship for my daughter at the moment. Im a kiwi citizen living in Australia on a Special Category Visa and my daughters mother was is an Australian Citizen living in NZ.
From what I understand you can apply for dual citizenship by applying for the Australian Citizenship by Decent. Form 118.
I found this out by using the Citizenship Wizard on the Australian Immigration website.

The fee for the Australian Citizenship by decent is $120aud for the first child and $95 for any other children your applying for at the same time.
Hope this helps
Thank you Dan! that's a big help.
