Default Financial support by Aussie Government

Friends,

Heared that Aussie government would provide a bit of financial support if your jobless.


Can we expect that right from the first day we land on Aus. or any time constraint to avail the scheme ?


Kindly share your thoughts.


Thanks,
Raj

I think you might need to be a citizen to claim any benefits, dont expect to come on a temporary visa and be able to claim benefits straight away, if you could the country would be flooded with people !

Besides, expecting benefits when your out of work is the wrong attitude, I have had lots of unemployment in the last 4 years and am currently unemployed and not claimed once

Nope. No financial support if you are jobless for the first 2 years. Then if you lose your job and have been PR for more than 2 years your entitlement to Centrelink payments is means tested. If I were to lose my job I would not be entitled to Centrelink payments because my husband has a job and we have assets.

It's clear on the DIAC website what is available to migrants and what is not.

You do not need to be a citizen to claim Centrelink benefits. Only PR for 2+ years.

Take account of the current unemployment rate.
Finding work is not that easy, compared to recent boom times. And it may get worse, as things return to normal, pre-boom times.

Comparison from previous years:
Total Unemployment numbers
Sep-1997 748,434
Sep-1998 721,160
Sep-1999 660,773
Sep-2000 576,498
Sep-2001 668,050
Sep-2002 629,095
Sep-2003 585,152
Sep-2004 553,119
Sep-2005 532,230
Sep-2006 511,363
Sep-2007 469,520
Sep-2008 489,956

Queensland Unemployment
September 2009

The Total available Labour Force increased from 2,332,376 in August 2009 to 2,395,453 in September 2009.
This was an increase of 63,076 new workers in the State.

Unfortunately, only 32,186 New jobs were created in the month of September.

This left the remaining 30,890 increase of available workers who went into the unemployed group.

Reducing immigration into Queensland would help, or creating even more jobs of course.
We could of course, send 31,000 mexicans back down over the border

I wonder how they calculate jobless figures?
My H was unemployed and keenly seeking work, but could not register anywhere for help (even the kind which allows you to apply for jobs advertised which need a jobseeker id)....hence unemployment figures are artificially low...

It isn't done by registered lists.

The Labour Force Survey is based on a multi-stage area sample of private dwellings (currently about 22,800 houses, flats, etc.) and a list sample of non-private dwellings (hotels, motels, etc.), and covers about 0.24% of the population of Australia. Information is obtained from the occupants of selected dwellings by specially trained interviewers.
Labour Force Survey estimates are calculated in such a way as to add up to independent estimates of the civilian population aged 15 years and over (population benchmarks). These population benchmarks are projections of the most recently released quarterly Estimated Resident Population (ERP) data.
Most countries have a similar method.
