Retired UK to Australia
I'm a UK citizen husband has indefinite leave to remain in UK. Only relatives I have are cousins and their children in Australia. We are both retired, age 72, and have private pensions and would like to move to be with family. Is this possible please?

From a quick look at options it doesn't look possible to me, but you could always have a chat with a registered agent who may see alternatives that are not so obvious.

Re: Retired UK to Australia
Keep in mind that IF you do move to Australia, then 2 years out of the UK means your husband's ILR will lapse.
Yes, there are routes to return such as Returning Resident, but you WILL need to go through some immigration process.
Hubby should get his citizenship before you move.
