When we moved over from London to Sydney in 2007 we used HiFX a lot of times (http://www.hifx.co.uk/) and very happy with it. The rate and service were good too.
You guys will love Melbourne, it is a very cosmopolitan and vibrant city. A bit colder than Sydney and has a European feel to it. |

Thanks for your replies:)
Once using the links that you guys have provided(thanks) Will I need to setup a Aus bank acc to enable me to (eventually) transfer a large amount of monies? |

Or you can wait until you arrive in Australia, walk into any bank and open an account providing you have some ID. Your passport and a credit card is enough usually if you do it within a couple of weeks of arriving. The process you will find is a lot easier than with a UK bank and you get your account number on the spot and an ATM / Visa Debit card in a few days. If you had opened the account from the UK they could have cards etc waiting for you at a branch. I mention the NAB, not only because I bank with them, but there are no fees or very negligible ones for banking with them and they have branches and ATMs everywhere so are a good starting point. There are many threads on the subject of which bank to use and many people have preferences but might I suggest one which is large to begin with low fees and then you can always switch to a different bank with the type of account which suits your banking needs. |
