Leaving Australia and going back again...
I have been back in the UK for 5 months (and what delightful weather it's been I must say! 
) after spending 10 months in NSW with my partner - we have got perm resid through his trade as a carpenter. We separated for a few reasons which have now been resolved and we are making a fresh start of it which means me going back to to live with him there. He was over here for a month and has just flown back. It will be another few weeks before I'll be ready to go.
My question is to anyone that might know - will I have any problems with my Visa (and also my son's who is 3) - when we get back Australia; as we have been away for a few months without my partner?

As I understand it a PR visa entitles you to leave and reenter Australia as many times as you like within the first 5 years, then after that you have to have a resident return visa.

If you try to return AFTER your visa has expired, then problems occur.
Good luck with everything

Re: Leaving Australia and going back again...
I thought you needed a resident return visa if you want to leave the country and then return, even during the five years of your permanent visa?
