10 Benefits of Being an Australian Permanent Resident (PR)

Many individuals dream of becoming a Permanent Resident in Australia, the famous "Australian PR," which allows people to live and work in Australia, along with a host of other government benefits. Today, we'll explore the top ten benefits that come with holding permanent residency (PR) in Australia.

Access to Medicare:

Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having access to Australia's universal healthcare services, Medicare. Receive medical services from doctors, specialists, public hospitals, and other healthcare benefits with professionals either for free or at a lower cost.

Full Working Rights:

As a permanent resident, you have the freedom to work in any job for any employer without restrictions.

There are some exceptions to what jobs you can get.

Cheaper Higher Education:

Permanent residents have access to domestic fees, cheaper than international students.

Childcare and Education Subsidies:

The Australian Government pays subsidies directly to your childcare provider to reduce the fees you pay for childcare.

Permanent residents also have access to government schools where children can get free education up to the 12th grade.

Social Security Benefits and Centrelink:

Permanent residents of at least two years will in some circumstances be eligible for Centrelink. Centrelink offers social welfare and may be available to you with aid in relation to sickness, unemployment, and study, with potential extensions to family members.

Buy property and get a grant:

When you have a permanent residence, you can access a $10,000 grant towards purchasing your first apartment, simplifying the process of homeownership compared to temporary visa holders.

This contrasts with temporary visa holders who have to get Foreign Investment Review Board approval or FIRB approval and pay a large fee to be able to buy property in Australia.

Live and Work in New Zealand:

With Australian permanent residency, you can live, work, and visit New Zealand.

Sponsor Family Members:

As a permanent visa holder, you may be able to sponsor your family members such as sisters, brothers, parents-in-law, and others for certain types of visas. Usually short-term visas like visitor visas.

Pathway to Australian Citizenship:

To apply for Australian citizenship normally you need to have been a permanent resident for at least one year and to have lived in Australia for at least four years before applying.

Children born to permanent residents in Australia are automatically granted citizenship.

Live in Australia and have the Freedom to Travel Overseas:

The grant of permanent residency means you will have a permanent visa and can live in Australia permanently without a time limit while you're in Australia.

You will have an initial 5-year grant period travel facility.
