What welfare policies can you enjoy when you immigrate to Australia?

# 中中中 # Introduction With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people plan to immigrate to Australia, so what welfare policies can they enjoy when they immigrate to Australia? Let's take a look. Welcome to reading.

1. What welfare policies can I enjoy when I immigrate to Australia?

1. The differences in rights enjoyed by Australian permanent residents and citizens are mainly manifested in five aspects:

1. Voting rights

2. Right to be elected

3. Right to join the army

4. Be elected to the jury

5. Engaged in some special government work (such as intelligence personnel)

The above five rights or obligations are not available to permanent residents, but only to citizens (naturalization).

Second, the most important living conditions.

1. Have lived in Australia for 4 years before applying, and have PR status in at least one of these 4 years (i.e. 12 months).

2. The total time to leave Australia in these four years should not exceed one year, and you should not leave Australia for more than 90 days in the year when you apply for naturalization. In addition, there are some requirements applicable to special people or special situations.

3. intend to settle in Australia, continue to settle in Australia or intend to maintain close relations with Australia. Children under the age of 16 can be included in the naturalization application of either parent without meeting the residence requirements.

Three, Australia's nine welfare policies

Compulsory education: 12 years of free compulsory education in primary and secondary schools.

Student allowance: after the child reaches the age of 18, he enjoys the student allowance.

Maintenance and allowance: children are entitled to maintenance and allowance before 18 years old.

Pension policy: All 60-year-old women and 65-year-old men can enjoy pensions.

Free medical insurance: the whole people enjoy free medical insurance (Medicare).

Unemployment relief: government departments provide unemployment relief.

Low-income subsidies: the government will provide subsidies for low-income people.

Interest-free loans: Interest-free government loans can be used for university tuition.

Other benefits: maternity allowance, multi-child allowance, unmarried parents allowance, single parents allowance, etc.

Emergency comprehensive relief and student allowance are the same as other benefits, such as free primary and secondary education, student loans and free medical care. After holding PR for two years, you can enjoy all the benefits in Australia.

After getting PR, you can apply for Australian citizenship if you meet certain conditions. It is worth noting that naturalization requires everyone to apply separately, not the whole family. If the wife has lived for 4 years, the wife can apply. If Mr. Wang is not completely occupied, he cannot apply.

From the welfare policy, new permanent residence visa holders are not allowed to apply for unemployment benefits in the first two years. If they only get PR, they can only enter Australia and New Zealand without a visa. All other countries need a visa, because you are still a citizen of China. But once you are naturalized, you become an Australian citizen.

If one parent is an Australian green card holder, if the child is born in Australia, then the child is an Australian citizen at birth. If the child is born in China, then the child is a citizen of China, and of course he can apply for an Australian green card in the future. If one parent is an Australian citizen, no matter where the child was born (such as China), the child is born an Australian citizen.
