    talk to an accountant.

    Bring it in a suitcase, and they'll take it off you.

    If you are Australian resident (for tax purposes) and have capital in Ireland, you can bring any amount of your Irish capital into Australia. There are no tax consequences. Likewise, if your family members have capital and they want to send some of it to Australia, there are no tax consequences. Simply transferring your savings from one country to another is not earning income, and does not attract tax.
