In addition to the general residency requirements set out above, customers may also qualify for Child Care Benefit if they are:
•an overseas student studying in Australia and receiving direct financial assistance from the Australian Government (eg. AusAIDscholarships or International Post Graduate Research Scholarships); or
•in some circumstances, be a non-resident experiencing hardship.
International Post Graduate Research Scholarships,这是澳洲政府给国际学生的奖学金,小孩上幼儿园有PR待遇,但全澳一年的名额是400个左右,分到每个八大名校就是每个学校30个左右名额,到每个专业就差不多是1个或1个不到的样子。八大名校的学校全奖是每个学校每年100到300左右,但是学校全奖的话,小孩上幼儿园是没有PR待遇的。对国际学生而已,学校全奖已经竞争非常激烈了,更不用说澳洲政府的全额奖学金了。而且,这些奖学金都是给research的学生的,如master by research或PhD。coursework的澳洲政府奖学金每年给国际学生的总名额估计就是个位数。
