No you can't. When I asked my girls Dad about the statutory declaration he tried bribing me to stop his maintenance payments or he wouldn't sign it
He also contacted the CSA who promptly sent me letter stating that I had to inform them when I was leaving the country. I rang and asked them about claiming from abroad and they said that I can't. I don't know why, possibly because you are removing his access to the children (not that he has bothered with them for the last 10 years )
I don't know if there is any other way you can go about it.

I think you are all living in cloud cuckooland..........
A British Judge will not allow a British Citizen to leave the country permanently against the wishes of a British Citizen parent.
Unless you can prove that the other parent is abusive then that's a different matter.
However being an abusive parent does not equate to being a shit parent.

If that parent doesn't care what happens to them why should they have a say in where they live?

parents still have rights, and as I said.

You need to come to an amicable arrangement here. If it goes to court because he doesn't want the kid to leave the country then he will win, it's irrelevent as to whether or not his motives are vindictive or not.

I am not disagreeing with your point on British judges I am simply stating the facts in my situation. My kids father doesn't really give a toss as to where they live as long as he doesn't have to fork out money for them. Again proving that he is indeed a s**t parent.
I don't remember anybody(prior to yourself) mentioning anything about him being abusive!!

We told the ex not to pay child maintenance for him to save the money so can come out and visit etc. I was going to pay half for him to fly here, but could he manage the other $1000???

Re: child maintance
CSA Australia has a reciprocating arrangement with the UK CSA, and should be willing to enforce a UK maintenance order.
http://www.csa.gov.au/guide/1_6_1.htm
Also, to say "A British Judge will not allow a British Citizen to leave the country against the wishes of a British Citizen parent" is simply not true, even without the parent being abusive. A court order can and will be granted if it is thought to be in the best interests of the child.
