What benefits can Australian immigrants enjoy?

Australia is a typical welfare society with a wide variety of social welfare. The welfare enjoyed by Australians can be said to be "from cradle to grave", covering all aspects. From childhood to old age, the whole life process of birth, illness and death is taken care of by the welfare system. Permanent residents and citizens can enjoy free medical care and their children can enjoy free primary and secondary education. New immigrants can't apply for most social security benefits in the first two years, including unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, youth allowances and some other payments.
