I have lived in Australia from March 2011 until now, but I travel often and my primary income comes from freelance writing jobs in Oz. Do I qualify as a tax resident or a non-tax resident?
Tax resident status in Australia tends to be slightly more complicated than in other nations, where you simply need to see if you've been win the country for a specific number of days to be recognised as a tax resident. Based on the little information you provided, I would say you probably would be considered a tax resident as you've been in the nation for more than half of the financial year - which is one of the indicators the ATO (Australian Tax Office) uses to classify residents from non-residents.
Regardless though, I would have a look at the Expat Arrivals Finances 101 Article. It's a great guide to money management in Australia.
