It is clearly understood that government social security benefits are NOT available to skilled migrants under the SRS(Skilled Regional Sponsored Visa) and SSV(Skilled Sponsored Visa) visa schemes. Skilled migrants sponsored under the SRS visa will NOT have access to Medicare, Higher Education Contributions Scheme or Centrelink.
Skilled migrants sponsored under the SSV visa will NOT have access to social security benefits until they have permanently resided in Australia for two years as a permanent resident. Further information on access to government benefits can be found on the DIAC website at http://www.immi.gov.au/
