Departing Australia

Ensuring you're financially prepared for your time abroad

Financial preparation for your time abroad

Becoming an Australian expat and departing Australia’s shores can be one of the most challenging and rewarding opportunities of your lifetime.

Our team at Ally Wealth Management will work with you to ensure that all of your personal financial affairs in Australia are set up correctly for your move abroad. We’ll also ensure you have the vehicles and strategies in place whilst you’re offshore to make the most of your wealth creation opportunity.

As part of our personal advice for our clients considering a move overseas, we will walk you through step-by-step the recommended changes and action items to implement. Some of the key items to consider when you’re considering moving abroad includes the following:

Superannuation

We’ll review your superannuation to ensure that your nest egg continues to work hard for you whilst you’re offshore and advise you of any required changes considering your new tax residence.

Life Insurance

Our team will review your life and other personal insurances to consider the implications of your offshore move and whether you'll still be covered or whether your policies require any changes.

Health Cover

It's important to ensure that you have the right health protection in place, particularly if you're relocating with your family. We'll help you consider your options and connect with you insurers abroad.

Investments

We’ll analyse your existing investments to ensure that they remain suitable for your needs. We’ll also walk you through key portfolio considerations for Australian expatriates.

Financing

Whether you only own your own home with a mortgage, or have a portfolio of properties, with we can work alongside your chosen mortgage broker who can provide you with a suitable finance option as an Australian expat.

Property

Estate Planning

We will work with you to review your estate planning documents, including Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Guardianship documents, on a regular basis and that they reflect your current plans and wishes, and factor in your country of residence.

Tax Planning and information

We will review your personal financial situation and regularly keep you up to date on any tax changes relevant to Australian expats, as well as reviewing any Capital Gains Tax or other tax implications of your move.

Foreign Exchange

Managing multiple currencies and converting foreign currencies to Australian Dollars (AUD) can be a challenging task. We will work with you to minimise costs, maximise efficiencies and maximum your currency exposures in line with your goals.
