Reasons for Immigration to Australia: What are the differences in welfare between China and Australia?

The welfare of Australian immigrants has fluctuated greatly!

A. Visa benefits

Unlimited free round-trip to Australia. At the same time, Australian permanent visa holders are free to settle in New Zealand and enjoy all the rights of the New Zealand green card. However, all the benefits will not be available until two years after you get PR.

B. Nationality of children

As long as one parent is an Australian PR, if the child is born in Australia, he is an Australian citizen from birth.

C. Pensions

In Australia, men over 65 and women over 60 can enjoy pensions. Australian pension is a government welfare and an income safety net for the elderly in Australia after retirement. Whether you have a pension or no job in Australia, you can get it through the central link. You need to live in Australia for 10 years and live continuously for 10 years, and decide how much pension to receive according to the income and assets of the relevant personnel. Annuities are linked to the inflation rate and are adjusted every two years. All pensioners can get preferential medical drugs and other health benefits. Other benefits provided by the government to pensioners include reduced transportation fees, local taxes, electricity charges and car registration fees.

D. Child welfare

Anyone who raises one or more children can get a subsidy, but to get this subsidy, they must go through a family income and property test. Family allowance is usually paid once every two weeks to the main guardian, usually the mother of the child. The collection of child support depends on the annual income of families with children.

E. Unemployment benefits

About $330 every two weeks. Anyone who has the ability to work and is willing to work but can't find workers can get it. In addition, the government also has "job search subsidy" and "restart subsidy" programs to encourage and support the unemployed to join or re-join the employment. At the same time, when the unemployed meet a more suitable job, they can't refuse it.

F. Free medical care

National Health Care (Medicare) is Australia's national health insurance plan. New immigrants can enjoy most free medical services immediately, and patients with national health care diseases can also enjoy free treatment in public hospitals. 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, hospitals and governments implement unified billing, and patients only need to swipe their cards without paying. Although the state will not pay for drugs for patients, the government subsidizes many medical prescriptions through the "medical subsidy plan".

G. Relief for the disabled and the sick

Persons receiving pensions due to disability and those receiving temporary subsidies due to illness receive rehabilitation treatment and training. Parents or guardians who need to take care of their children at home because of their physical, intellectual or psychological disabilities can get relief funds for the disabled and patients. Disabled people who are employed or undergoing training but cannot use public transportation can receive transportation subsidies; People who take care of severely disabled pensioners or other recipients at home for a long time can get caregiver subsidies.

H. Maternity benefits

1. Maternity allowance: this is a one-time payment of 5,000 yuan to everyone.

2. Parental leave allowance: If you are a company employee or self-employed small business owner with an annual income of less than 654.38+0.5 million, and have worked for your current employer for more than 654.38+0.2 months before the birth/adoption of your child, you will receive a weekly allowance of $ 622.654.38 during the child care leave.
