See: www.facs.gov.au. There are a series of booklets to help New Zealand citizens and other nationals who decide to apply for permanent residency in Australia available for downloading from the from the Australian Immigration and Citizenship website www.immi.gov.au free of charge. The booklets are also available for a fee from Immigration and Visa section in Auckland. For more information on Australia’s migration program see: Overview – migration.
