Hi there

 

A subclass 176 visa gives immediate PR and with that immediate entitlement to full Medicare and the PBS. You will need to go to a Medicare office soon after arrival in Oz to register and obtain your Medicare cards. More info is here:

 

For Individuals - Medicare Australia

 

With Centrelink, some Benefits are subject to the two year new resident's waiting period - unemployment benefit is subject to the above. However some child-related Benefits are available from Day One whilst you find your feet, I believe.

 

Individuals index

 

Cheers

 

Gill
