Families of those aboard Flight MH370 are hoping to raise a reward for information on the missing jet.
THE search for missing Flight MH370 could take a turn with a new location, as Malaysia plans to send a team to Australia to finalise the next search phase.
Malaysia Deputy Communications Minister Jailani Johari confirmed today that teams from Australia and Malaysia are still in the process of exchanging notes with Inmarsat on satellite data, and a Malaysian delegation will be coming to Australia on Tuesday.
He said the meeting in Canberra would ensure all parties involved in the search "were on the same page".
The delegation will then be heading to Beijing to update Chinese authorities about the search.
Mr Johari said Malaysian officials will get the Chinese government's views on asset deployment to continue the search.
When asked if he could confirm if there would be a change to the search area, the Director General of Civil Aviation Azharuddin Rahman said Malaysia were going to Australia to discuss this.
The Wall Street Journal has reported today that the search could be poised for a shift in location, according to people close to the search for the plane.

"No final decisions have been made about where the retooled search will focus and the effort remains "a work in progress," according to one person familiar with the details, The WSJ reports.
"Public disclosure of the new area could come as early as mid-June, this person said, though underwater scanning equipment isn't slated to begin operating until August."
On the search location today, Mr Rahman said: "We are going to Australia tomorrow to know more about the search area, we are still going to discuss that with the Australians, we can't tell you anything more today," he said.
He also said Malaysia would not be not searching the northern corridor as demanded by next of kin.
Relatives of those on board missing Flight MH370 have launched a bid to raise a $5 million to offer a "whistleblower" reward to anyone who can shed light on the missing plane.
The prospect of a reward would encourage a whistleblower to come forward with secret information about the stalled investigation, families argue.
When asked about the crowd-funding efforts by next of kin, Mr Rahman said they would let them to continue raising the funds.
"They say they are collecting $5 million and want to employ investigators...hopefully they can share the outcome .. and we can discuss the data," he said.
