Specialist Pension Advice for British Expats Moving to or Living in Australia

At Titan Wealth International, we provide specialist UK pension transfer advice for British expats relocating to — or already living in — Australia.

Our dedicated service helps you evaluate your options, navigate UK and Australian tax rules, and structure your retirement income effectively — with expert support from cross-border advisers who understand the journey from UK pensions to Superannuation or SMSFs.

The only international firm with dual accreditation, as a CISI Chartered Status Firm and a CII International Professional Partner Firm.

As Seen In

Who This Service Is For?

01

You’re a British expat living in Australia and want more control over your UK pension.

02

You’re relocating to Australia within the next 12–24 months and want to plan ahead.

03

You hold one or more UK pensions — including defined benefit, defined contribution, or personal pensions — and want to explore if you can transfer them to an Australian Superannuation or SMSF.

04

You’ve worked in the UK and now live in Australia, and want a retirement plan that aligns with your long-term lifestyle and tax residency.

05

You’re looking for expert guidance across both jurisdictions, including cross-border pension advice and coordination with Australian tax and superannuation professionals.

Please note: UK State Pensions and most public sector pensions cannot be transferred. Exceptions may apply to schemes like the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) or Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).

How We Can Help You

Our UK Pension Transfer to Australia service is tailored to your personal goals, financial situation, and cross-border needs. When you work with us, you’ll benefit from:

Clarity on Your Pension Options

We assess whether transferring your UK pension makes sense based on your retirement timeline, lifestyle goals, and eligibility under current QROPS rules.

The Right Structure for You

Depending on your age and circumstances, this may include an International SIPP, a QROPS, or retaining your UK scheme — with future transfer planning in place if you’re under 55.

Cross-Border Tax Planning

Our advice considers both UK and Australian tax laws, including how the Double Tax Agreement and Australian superannuation rules impact your transfer and future income.

End-to-End Transfer Support

We coordinate the full process from start to finish — from trustee communications to document handling — ensuring everything is done compliantly and efficiently.

Ongoing Financial Planning

Continue working with us post-transfer for drawdown advice, income planning, currency strategy, and retirement planning tailored to life in Australia.

Wealth Management & Global Structuring

We help you integrate your pension with other assets such as SMSFs, property, investments, and estate planning — with transparent advice across both jurisdictions.

Benefits of Managing Your UK Pension from Australia

Effectively managing your UK pension while residing in Australia can offer significant financial advantages and peace of mind.

Tax Efficiency

With the right structure, you may be able to reduce your tax exposure — both now and in retirement — by aligning your pension strategy with your Australian tax residency and superannuation rules.

Simplicity

Combine multiple UK pensions into a single, flexible retirement plan that’s easier to manage and tailored to your future in Australia.

Pathway to Superannuation

For those over 55, a QROPS can allow a compliant transfer into an Australian Super Fund. For younger clients, an International SIPP provides flexibility with the potential to transfer later.

Tailored Investment Strategy

Access globally diversified portfolios tailored to your risk appetite, retirement goals, and desired retirement timeline.

Ease of Accessing Your Funds

Structure your retirement income so it’s paid in AUD, aligned with your cost of living — and avoid the headaches of cross-border currency remittance.

Holistic Financial Planning

We believe in transparency and clarity. All costs are disclosed upfront and fully explained — so you’re confident in every decision.

How Our UK Pension Transfer to Australia Service Works

A step-by-step process designed for clarity, compliance, and confidence.

Book a free call with a UK pension transfer specialist to discuss:

  • Whether you qualify for a transfer to a QROPS or if an International SIPP is more suitable
  • How your age, residency, and goals impact your options
  • Whether a transfer is right for you — and what the process would look like

We gather all necessary information from your UK pension schemes. This includes scheme details, fees, transfer values, and whether they qualify for transfer. We also offer a free pension tracing service if needed.

We take time to understand your retirement objectives, age, expected move (if not yet relocated), Superannuation or SMSF goals, income needs, and wider financial picture.

You’ll receive a complimentary personalised report that includes:

  • A clear breakdown of your pensions
  • Side-by-side comparisons for keeping vs transferring
  • Our professional recommendation tailored to your situation

If a transfer is right for you and you decide to proceed, we’ll handle everything from start to finish. All costs will be communicated to you upfront before proceeding. If a transfer isn’t right for you, or you decide not to proceed, you walk away without any charges.
