Some info from the ATO site on foreign income and tax treatment.

http://www.ato.gov.au/corporate/cont...t/00313612.htm

It states 'If you have assessable income from overseas, you must declare it in your Australian income tax return. If you have paid foreign tax in another country, you may be entitled to an Australian foreign income tax offset, which provides relief from double taxation.'

If you're a permanent resident your foreign interest should have been declared at Question 20 on your tax return:

I did a H&R tax course a few years ago and it was covered in that. It was a few years ago and things might have changed so worth checking with someone with up to date info
