I'm receiving the disability pension. Can I move to Australia on a holiday visa and keep my pension?
Me and my boyfriend want to move to Australia for a year but I'm receiving the disability pension. He wants to go and work but won't go without me. I was wondering if I could go on a holiday visa and keep my disability pension??

It's possible I believe, under the agreement between NZ and Australia, if you are classified as severely disabled. I found it difficult to get a full understanding of who qualified and who doesn't from reading around, so I would suggest contacting Work and Income for more information. This guide may be helpful though: http://www.fahcsia.gov.au/sa/international/ssa/currentagreements/Pages/nz-nz_faq.aspx#payments
