  1. 10 Benefits of Getting Permanent Residency in Australia The melting pot down under, Australia is an exceptional country to settle down. Ranked by the United Nations as the second-best country in the world for its quality of life in 2015, Australia unceasingly attracts international skilled workers to migrate and to make their dreams realized. If you are wondering, how permanent residency in Australia can impact your life in Australia, we have listed down the privileges of permanent residents (PRs): Benefits of having PR in Australia 1.Right to live in Australia indefinitely Being on a permanent resident visa entitles you to travel in and out of Australia for an unlimited time. But do take note that your introductory PR visa is valid for a 5-year duration. Nevertheless, you are eligible to renew this visa before its expiry date. Where you travel overseas and return to Australia after your permanent residency expired, you will need to obtain a five-year Resident Return Visa (RRV) to renew your permanent residence. 2.Full working rights Once on PR status, you may choose any occupation that you are interested in and you are allowed to work with no restrictions. However, exceptions do apply for work types such as Public service or Armed forces. Only Australian citizens can apply for the jobs that fall under these two sectors. 3.Sponsoring family members

  2. You may sponsor your family members for the acquisition of permanent residence but only after you met the residence and support assurance pre-requisites. 4.Credit rating Your credit rating as an Australian Permanent Resident will promptly rise to enable you to gain approval easier on personal loans, car loans, home loans, credit cards, and so on. 5.First Home Owner Grant You will be eligible for the FHOG (First Home Owner Grant) worth $10,000 if you signed your contract on or after 1 July 2013 on your first house acquisition. Your new home can be an apartment, unit, house, townhouse, or similar which costs at $750,000 or less and it must be the first sale of the property as a residential address. 6.Access to student loans The Higher Education Support Act 2003 dictates that Australian citizens and permanent visa holders are given the privilege of receiving assistance financially on their study through the Higher Education Loans Program (HELP). This is helpful for you if ever faced with a financial crisis while you are studying. 7.Privilege for the children of PR One of the greatest benefits of becoming a PR is felt when your children are born in Australia as they will be deemed automatically as Australian citizens by birth. In essence, they will be provided with the utmost benefits in the field of education and health care. 8.Healthcare entitlement An all-inclusive Medicare health coverage will be available for you as a PR which grants you cheaper health insurance, free treatment at public hospitals, and subsidized medicine. 9.Social security benefits After two years of settling down in Australia as a permanent resident, a master program by Australia’s Social Security Department, widely known as Centrelink, will provide you social welfare aids associated with the student, sickness, and unemployment which can be extended to your family. 10.Eligibility to apply for an Australian citizenship Permanent residence acquired after 1 July 2007 may be qualified to apply for Australian citizenship if you have lived lawfully in Australia for at least 4 years and have lived in Australia for at least 12 months as a permanent resident.
