Can I move to Australia if I'm holding New Zealand Permanent Residence?

I'm staying in NZ on a visitor visa and have applied for a New Zealand work permit. But I want to settle in Australia, so what's the requirement for this? Thanks

Once you get your work permit you can then apply for PR if you meet the requiements. Once you have PR you will have to have been in NZ for 5 years before you can apply for Citizenship, once you have that you can then go to Australia to live and work without restriction. It's a very long way round and if you don't want to settle here anyway I would suggest that you go straight to Australia and apply for PR there.
