Hi Malc,
Welcome to the forum.
There are quite a few approved schemes for people who want to transfer their pensions to Australia, and if you do it within 6 months of moving out here then the Australian government do not tax it. We have just been through this process.
If you use a self managed fund in Australia then you can do far more with your pension than you can in the UK without having the pension as cash. Self managed funds do incur charges so you need to ensure that whatever you do with your pension you are earning enough to cover those charges.
Obviously I'm not a financial advisor and people should take financial advice on their pensions transfer since situations are different.
Regards,
Karen
