No, as an Australian citizen, you do not need a visa to visit New Zealand. Australian citizens are granted a visa waiver, allowing them to enter and stay in New Zealand indefinitely. Upon arrival in New Zealand, you will be granted a visitor visa or entry permission at the border. However, you will still need a valid Australian passport to travel to New Zealand.
If you are an Australian permanent resident, you must hold an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before you travel. You do not pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL).
If you are not an Australian citizen but you are residing in Australia and planning to travel to New Zealand, the visa requirements will depend on your specific nationality and immigration status in Australia.
