Australian immigrant welfare

Hello, go abroad to answer your questions!

Immigration to Australia can enjoy the following social benefits:

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: paid to people who have difficulties in life. New immigrants can only apply if the situation changes beyond their control. It is about 330 Australian dollars per person every two weeks.

Unemployment benefit: about 330 Australian dollars per person every two weeks. Anyone who has the ability to work and is willing to work but can't find workers can get it. But new immigrants have to wait two years before they can apply. 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.

Pension: Men need to be over 65 years old and women need to be over 60 years old to enjoy the pension. The pension is about 440 Australian dollars per week. Whether you can get a pension or not depends on your personal income and assets. Eligible people can also get preferential medical drugs and other health benefits. Therefore, the elderly in Australia are basically supported by the government. No one will have worries in life when he is old, and his children will not have the mental and economic pressure to support the elderly.

Allowance: each child can get a one-time childbirth allowance of $5,000 to help add supplies for newborns.

Disability allowance: Those who receive pension due to disability or temporary allowance due to illness can receive rehabilitation treatment and training at the same time to see if they can return to work. Parents or guardians who need to receive high-level care and attention at home because of their children's physical, intellectual or psychological disabilities can also receive nursing subsidies.

In addition, there are study allowance, disaster allowance, remote area allowance, widow allowance, nursing allowance, spouse allowance, telephone allowance, rent allowance, transportation allowance, childcare allowance and so on.

Australia implements a national health insurance system, namely medical care. The state takes 0.5% of 65438+ people's income as medical fund in the form of tax. This medical care system includes paying the medical expenses of patients in public hospitals or most of the medical expenses for treatment outside hospitals, as well as the outpatient expenses of doctors.

Australia has a social "safety net" to provide financial assistance and other forms of support to people in financial difficulties. Government agencies and non-governmental organizations work together to help the elderly, the disabled, the sick, the unemployed and families with many children.

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.
