National Insurance Contributions

I am in the process of migrating to Australia and have been paying National Insurance Contributions in the UK for the past 20 years. Will I be able to continue to pay contributions and be able to have a pension transfered to Australia?

As to whether the UK authorities will pay it when you are not in that country, you will have to ask a local lawyer about that.
