Hi Cheeks 34!
I'm sure someone will be along with more detailed info, but here's my understanding in brief.

You will need to apply for a spouse visa for him.
to do this you either have to have £62,000 in savings - held for 6 months with no access , or if you are selling your aussie house then the projected "profit' from this can be used.
alternatively YOU (as the UKC) need to have a job in the UK , starting within 3 months of acceptance paying at least £18,600 AND have been holding a job in australia paying the equivalent for at least the previous 6 months.
Otherwise, you'll have to come back to UK , get a job paying at least £18,600 a year, hold it for at least 6 months, keeping all payslips etc , then YOU can apply to sponsor him for his visa.

It's doable, but not easy as the UK has clamped down on UK citizens bringing in non EEA spouses as they cannot do much about EU immigration!

Do you have kids? If so they need registering as UK citizens , otherwise the minimum money needed goes up.

Good Luck!

Thank you u pretty much said what I had heard but needed it written down, 62,000 bloody crazy, and my job as caseworker would never earn that, so thinking caps on....

Thanks

If we were not married would it have been easier, eg defacto is that what other people do?

What do you have to do for defacto? Anybody know?

would be no different de facto would still need spouse visa. Your earings do NOT have to be £62,500, that's for savings. You would need a job earning $18,600 a year, or you can use a combination of both.

All is explained here,,

Read the following document carefully to see if you can qualify to sponsor your partner for a visa :

Another option would be if your partner had British 'roots' and could claim an Ancestry visa.
