VAT registration for short term contract?

[structure]

Hi, i was wondering if someone could help me in regards to HMRC's flat rate scheme. I have a 6 month IT consulting contract through my limited company (working from Australia for a UK client). My question is - is it worth me joining the flat rate scheme for 6 months only?

Thanks for your help!!

I think there are some bigger questions there, viz "Working from Australia".

legal structure?
Corporate residence?
Personal residence?
Nature of services? (Re place of supply rules)

I don't mean to over complicate, but there is more to this that meets the eye.
