You need to know about the Australian immigration welfare system.

Australia's social security benefits are comprehensive, including:

Child support: A family with children can receive it with an annual income of no more than 65,000 Australian dollars, which is about 50-300 Australian dollars per person every two weeks. The amount depends on the age and number of children and the total income and property of the family.

Special relief fund: it is given to people who have difficulties in life. New immigrants can apply when the situation changes due to circumstances beyond their control, which is about 330 Australian dollars per person every two weeks.

Unemployment benefit: about 330 Australian dollars per person every two weeks. Anyone within working age who is able to work and willing to work but can't find a job can get it. New immigrants will be eligible to apply after waiting for two years.

Pension: you can enjoy it at the age of 65. Whether you can get a pension or not depends on your personal income and assets. Pensioners can get preferential medical drugs and other health benefits. Other benefits include reducing transportation fees, local taxes, electricity charges and car registration fees.

Maternity allowance: A one-time maternity allowance of $7,000 can be given to each child to help add supplies to the newborn.

In addition, Australian immigrant benefits include study allowance, sickness and disability allowance, disaster allowance, remote area allowance, widow allowance, nursing allowance, spouse allowance, telephone allowance, rent allowance, transportation allowance and childcare allowance.

Most new immigrants have to wait two years before they can apply for some social security funds, including unemployment benefits and study allowances, excluding medical allowances, child support, special relief funds, university scholarships and tuition interest-free loans.

Australia's social security system is responsible for providing income support and services to the poor. Social security is provided by a government agency called Centrelink. You can find the address and telephone number of the Centrelink office in the local white-page telephone book.

Whether you can get Centrelink payment depends on your visa type. Even if you become a resident of Australia, you may be limited by the waiting period for payment.

When you apply for payment, you must show your identification to Centrelink. (Passport and travel documents, bank account information and residence information) The above telephone numbers can provide more information about the identification requirements. You can also download the information document from provingyouridentitytocentrelink on the centrelink website, or click the above link.

You must have a TaxFileNumber(TFN, tax number) to receive Centrelink payment. Centrelink can provide you with an application form submitted to the Australian Taxation Bureau.

Waiting time for Centrelink payment

Generally speaking, new immigrants in Australia need to live in Australia as residents for two years before they can get most social security benefits, including unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, student allowances and other allowances. You usually need to live in Australia for ten years before you are eligible for pension and disability allowance.

Exempt from waiting period

Refugees and humanitarian migrants can be exempted from the two-year waiting period, and so can their partners and their dependent children, as long as their kinship exists when the refugees or humanitarian migrants arrive in Australia.

If you get into trouble because your situation has undergone major changes beyond your control, you may get special benefits during the waiting period. This allowance is provided only in very limited circumstances. If you can't find a job or run out of money, you are not eligible for special benefits. If you are sponsored by your financial guarantor to immigrate to Australia, your guarantor will be responsible for repaying the special allowance paid to you under any circumstances.

If you lose your spouse, become disabled or become a single parent after becoming an Australian resident, you may be eligible for welfare allowance or pension. If you are covered by the international social security agreement, you may get a pension without living in Australia for ten years.

Family assistance

Australian immigrant benefits: If you have dependent children, you can get family tax benefits and child care benefits to help pay for raising children. Generally speaking, there is no waiting period for these offers, but you must have a permanent residence visa to be eligible to apply, but there are exceptions. It is important to understand that family assistance is only a supplement to income, and it is not enough to maintain a living. The application must be verified by income.
