There is guidance on the ATO website. It isn't as straightforward as some people would like to imagine it is to determine (for example it isn't just a need to spend more days overseas than in the Country) you need to consider where you would be considered domiciled (work, accommodation, super, etc.).
I think you need to clarify as to what context you are seeking a view on this for, so people can better help you. Tax residency (probably not, given your response)? Immigration? If it is important to you to have a specific answer you can rely on - then I would suggest you determine what your requirement for the advice is (Tax, immigration, etc) and then ask a suitably qualified lawyer. We've seen from all the wannabe CEO's / Administrator's, over Virgin on this site, that whilst advice / opinion is almost certainly well intentioned, it often has very little grounding in fact or legal reality!
Not aware of a clear definition but I would assume it relates to “Permanent Residency” in a country other than Australia. I am Australian citizen and flew out of Sydney about 6 weeks ago to the US where I am Green Card Permanent Resident, even just showing the Green Card alone wasn't completely enough, they still asked a number of questions to validate I truly was resident in the US, so to me it felt like a foreign permanent residency test

Hmm, Not sure the ATO definition is what I need.
It is Border Security or Home Affairs I think. I can't find a definition anywhere, nor anyone to speak with.
