I have a few questions about newly arrived migrants in Australia under Subclass 175 GSM or 176 State Sponsored Skilled Visas.

1. What is waiting period for two years? Does this period applied on both Subclasses 175 &176 and does migrants are eligible to receive most social security payments?
2. Does social security payments includes i.e., rental assistance, education allowance, jobless allowance and children under 12 years allowance?
3. Does this mandatory for migrant to remain in the State or Territory for a period of at least two (2) years if he has SS subclass 176 visa?
4. What are complete surveys for Subclass SS 176 visa?

Moderators please shed some lights on the above questions with their experience. Thanks

Cheers

I have to agree with wannabe in oz. I can't believe that you considering the benefits you can receive. It really irks me when immigrants have this attitude. And I am a little annoyed at how easily the Australian government gives out money to those that really don't deserve it and then taxes everyone else rather highly (compared to other countries). I am about to find out the extent of it when I return to live there this year.

For the record, I am an Aussie who immigrated to the Uk on an ancestry visa and then became a permanent resident. In the 4years that I had my ancestry visa I was told it was on the condition that I had no recourse on public funds. This did not bother me as I didn't rely on public funds when I lived in Australia so I had no reason to believe I needed any in the UK either. I worked my butt off and set up my own company with my husband and have made a go of it.

I believe if you immigrate to a country you should be going because you are going to contribute to that countries economy not be a drain on it.

do you not agree that the poster should get work and support themselves, instead of getting handouts.too many people just don't want to work which then costs the rest of us more.:thumbdown:

Of course I agree with you. But often things aren't as black & white as you make out.

what do mean 'as you make out'. surely if people are emmigrating they must be able to work and support themselves to be able to get visa in first place.so why the need to know about what benefits they may or may not get. when i was applying for mine i had to show qualifications and experience i had not what benefits i might be able to get.if these freeloaders didn't do what they do maybe we would'nt pay as much tax!!
