If you're only a resident for part of the year you'll have a different tax-free threshold, which will be less than the full $18,200 that applies to Australian residents. Part-year residents have a tax-free threshold of at least $13,464, and the remaining $4,736 of the full tax-free threshold is calculated using the number of months you were a resident for tax purposes. We have some information on the part-year tax-free threshold (https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Coming-to-Australia-or-going-overseas/Your-tax-residency/Australian-resident-for-tax-purposes/#PartyearAustralianresident1) on our website that you can check out.
