School Assistance for Temporary Resident Visa Holders

axln

Hi, Pinoyau.

Question for those temporary visa holders who are already in AU. Are there any assistance for us specially for schooling of kids when we arrive there?

Our visa is 496 and we are planning to stay in Victoria. Thanks in advance.

@axln..School assistance and other benefits is for permanent visa holder and citizens only..

Tanong kolang po, pag Subclass 100 ba ang na-grant ibig sabihin PR na ang status pagdating ng AU?

nfronda

@gin05.. Here's the link..http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/partners/partner/309-100/

It's stated that subclass 100 is a temporary visa and have a waiting period of 2 years to be permanent as long that relationship is on.

@gin05 @nfronda - if you read the link closely:

Visa309 is temporary and then pag continuous pa rin ang relationship pwde na i convert as visa 100 which is the PR visa..

nfronda

@lock_code2004.. Ay oo nga po.. Sorry for that @gin05, Yes visa subclass 100 is PR.

@lock_code2004 @nfronda So kapag Subclass 100 na po ang hawak na visa makaka avail kana ng government assistance from the government?

nfronda

@gin05..yes po..if u have a kids u can avail the family assistance benefit, pro pag wla medicare lg ang pwde mong makuha..

If u dont mind po ilang years na ba kayo married sa husband mo? I'M asking dis one po kasi pag below 2 yrs pa lg posible na subclass 309 pa lg ung hawak nyo.. pro pag more than 2 yrs na sure na subclass 100 ang hawak nyo.

@nfronda: 2 yrs and 5 months na kaming married ng hubby ko at may isang anak kami..kaka grant lang ng visa ko last July...nung tiningnan ko ang grant notice, Subclass 100 kasi ang nakalagay... kaya medjo na confused ako...balak ko rin kasi mag-aral ulit pagdating dun..

nfronda

@gin05..Kaya pla na exempt ka sa subclass 309 at na direct sa subclass 100 kasi 2 yrs sobra na kayong married. That's make sense now. Pwde kang mag aral ulit dito pagdating mo, mas mura ang babayaran mo dahil PR ka pro pag temporary mahal.

hello po.. :-) tanong ko lang kung makakakuha ba ng assistance from the government ang mga new migrant(PR and temporary)? salamat.. 🙂

nfronda

@gin05.. Only PR migrant lg po..

gin05

@nfronda So sa case ko po since PR visa na ang ginrant sa akin ng immigration so makakakuha kami ng hubby ko ng assistance from centrelink? depende parin ba yun sa income ng asawa ko kasi xa ang may work?

nfronda

@gin05..As u both have a kid, yes makakuha kayo ng family assistance benefits from centrelink and that is income tested.

@nfronda thanks much.. :-)
