Generally, you will be considered as an Australian resident for tax purposes if:
- you have always lived in Australia or you have come to Australia and live here permanently
- you have been in Australia continuously for six months or more, and for most of that time you worked in the one job and lived at the same place
- you have been in Australia for more than six months during 2010–11, unless your usual home is overseas and you do not intend to live in Australia
