Most Australians who think about retiring overseas picture one thing: selling up and moving for good. But many people never move for good: they spend a month somewhere new each year, a season, or half the year in each place. We started Retirees Abroad to lay every option side by side, however long you would like to go, with the rules checked and dated so you can trust what you read.
The community for Australians retiring overseas
Plain, dated answers and free help planning it, for Australians 60 and over thinking about a month away, a season, half the year or a move for good.
Why we started Retirees Abroad
How we work
We check the pension, Medicare, tax and visa rules against official sources wherever they exist, name every source, write down the date, and recheck them when they change. And when you would like a hand, we talk it through with you on a free Zoom call.

Who we are
Retirees Abroad is run by a small Australian team that has lived overseas, on and off, for more than 10 years. So we know the practical side from experience, not just from reading about it.
Since 2020 we have helped people with European travel and visas. Along the way, a lot of retirees asked us the same thing: could we help them spend a month or two somewhere new, with other people their age, rather than going alone? Retirees Abroad is our answer.
When you book a call or come to a workshop, you talk with the Retirees Abroad team, based in Melbourne. Questions any time: hello@retireesabroad.com.au.
