I don't think there's any tax on capital imported into Australia, so you can bring it in any way you like. Once you save or invest it and it starts to generate interest or investment return, that will be taxable as income. But this is true whether you save or invest it in or outside Australia, so that's not a reason for keeping it offshore. (In fact, the tax may be slightly heavier if you invest offshore, so take good advice before doing that).
