What social benefits do Australian elderly parents enjoy after emigration?

Everyone enjoys free medical care. There are more than 1, 100 hospitals in Australia, of which public hospitals account for more than 60%, with an average of 4.5 beds per thousand people. There are about 42,000 registered doctors and 0/90,000 registered nurses in Australia. National Health Insurance (Medicare) is Australia's national health insurance plan. New immigrants (with permanent residency) can enjoy most free medical services immediately. The state will pay for patients: the cost of medical treatment, the cost of surgery in public hospitals, and the cost of hospitalization (including medicine and diet). Under normal circumstances, medical practitioners and hospitals will settle accounts with the government in a unified way, and patients only need to swipe their cards without paying.
