Resident Return Visa
If an Australian Permanent Resident moved to the UK with their Australian Citizen Partner. And after several years the couple wanted to move back to Australia is that good enough grounds to apply for the $120 dollar Resident Return Visa.
Or do you have to reapply for the expensive spouse visa $1950.
My partner seen some jobs in the UK and from what i can make out as we have been together more than 4 years she can goto the UK, but not sure how it works for us coming back to Australia if we are out of the country to long.

But there are still circumstances in which an RRV may be refused, citizenship makes things so much simpler.
