EU Directive 2004/38/EC says that, without prejudice to national border-control rules on travel documents, Member States shall let Union citizens enter with a valid identity card or passport, and family members who are not nationals of a Member State with a valid passport.
“Without prejudice to the provisions on travel documents applicable to national border controls, Member States shall grant Union citizens leave to enter their territory with a valid identity card or passport and shall grant family members who are not nationals of a Member State leave to enter their territory with a valid passport.”

Austria citizens can enter Slovenia without a visa and live there under freedom of movement. You only need a valid Austria passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay.
Whatever your visa status, Slovenia applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Slovenia lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Austria citizens are treated the same way as Albania, Andorra, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria. Overall the Austria passport ranks #14 in the world with 123 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a Austria passport you can also visit 44 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Belarus and Switzerland.
In the other direction, Slovenia citizens can visit Austria visa-free.

A foreigner whose permitted stay under the law, the Schengen Convention or an international treaty has expired commits a misdemeanour and is fined 800 to 1,200 euros. The police issue a return decision to a foreigner staying illegally, except in certain cases. The return decision sets an entry ban to Slovenia and the EU and Schengen area: one year where a voluntary-departure period was set, not enforced if the foreigner leaves within that period, and five years where the stay is a danger to public order, public security or national security.
