I lived and worked in Japan for 5 years and returned to Australia around a month and a half ago and have started to investigate the process. From what I can gather, the pension tax refund is straight-forward and only requires filling out this form:

Income tax refund however, I am having a difficult time understanding the process. It seems like I have to get an aquaintance in Japan to complete some procedure on my behalf but I'm not exactly sure how.
Also, is there a time limit within which I have to finish this tax refund process?
