I know it wouldn't be possible to withdraw money until I was identified locally but that's not a problem.
Unless Oz is different to NZ then you can open an account (with HSBC) without having to be resident. You can set up the account over here by simply showing your passport and filling out the necessary forms. I did this only last week and I should also be getting internet access to the NZ account in the next few days once things are finalised.0
