Does the 5 years start again now I've returned to Australia?

As I am now in Australia and no plan ro return this time in 20 years when I access the qrops fund will I have met the 5 years continuous residency requirement before withdrawing.

I transferred my UK pension to a QROPS scheme in 2014 whilst living in Australia. In 2016 inreturn to the UK and then back to Australia in 2023. I want to consolidate my qrops to my other non qrops funds here in Australia. Once the 10 years have passed from date of transfer am I right in thinking that transfer wouldn't need to be reported to hmrc and I wouldn't be hit with a tax charge.
