Question 1: How can I find competent financial advice for UK/AU superannuation and tax and pensions? There must be hundreds of thousands of ex-Poms like me with a mixture of vesting in state and private super schemes. Very few agents here seem to specialise and almost all of them want to sell complex SMSF products and ignore the national insurance scheme, and UK tax issues.

You are correct in saying there are thousands of ex-British people like yourself who are retiring in Australia, and that most financial advisers in Australia don’t have the experience or competency to deal with UK pension schemes.
