Give birth to a child: the Australian government will give corresponding subsidies according to family income. Although it is not as generous as the subsidy of 5,000 yuan for a child in the past, there are still subsidies and money.
In Australia, it is no exaggeration to say that the government helps you raise your children.
Milk money: from the birth of a child to the age of eighteen, the government subsidizes the milk money every month. The amount of milk money depends on family income. For example, for families with an annual income of less than 30,000 yuan, each child can receive 700-800 yuan's milk money. From July 1, 20265438, one child increased 100 or more, two children increased 168 Australian dollars, and three children increased 226 Australian dollars. There are two children in my son's family, and now it is 924 Australian dollars per month.
Maternal and child rooms can be seen everywhere: all shopping malls have maternal and child rooms. The maternal and infant room is divided into five areas: diaper changing table, nursing room, children's toilet, children's activity area, milk powder brewing or hot water heating area. The needs of babies can basically be met conveniently, so that parents who take their children to travel are not so worried. When we take our children out, we are not afraid that there is no place to change diapers.
In Australia, all baby food under one year old is duty-free, including milk powder and other baby food. This virtually lightens a lot of burdens for families raising one or even several children.
The Australian government has done many practical things to encourage fertility. Australia's protection of baby food safety has reached a harsh level. Pure natural milk powder, food and raw materials can be 100% pure natural without additives to ensure the healthy growth of children.
Kindergarten subsidy: Australian kindergartens are expensive, but the government will subsidize you about 60%. For example, the daily tuition fee for children is about 100 yuan. After receiving government subsidies, parents actually pay around 40 yuan. My granddaughter's expenses are 1 10 yuan (every day), and I only get more than 20 yuan, and other government subsidies.
All-day kindergarten is from 8: 30 am to 8: 30 pm 18:30. For families with elderly people, children can be picked up at 15:30. For families with two employees, picking up the children at 18:30 can be said to be very humanized.
In addition, Australian kindergartens can send their children to kindergartens when they are very young. At present, the 6-month-old baby can be sent to kindergarten, which reduces the worries of having children and taking care of them for dual-income families.
After all, there is no habit of helping China's grandparents abroad. Grandparents of foreigners usually take care of their grandchildren only when you have special circumstances, which is also the cultural difference between us.
There is no charge for public schools in primary schools: there is no difficulty in entering Australia. Whether buying a house or renting a house, there are corresponding schools in your area. If you have a house, you just need to prove that you live there. Families renting houses can let their children enter public schools on a two-year lease contract, during which there is no charge except for two sets of school uniforms.
People living in Australia must see that children living near primary schools are wearing school uniforms and holding stop signs (lollipop people). The roads near Australian schools not only have zebra crossings and traffic lights for pedestrians to pass safely, but also have special personnel to stop passing vehicles for children when they need to cross the road, thus achieving real double insurance.
Children's playgrounds can be seen everywhere: any large green space and lawn will have places for children to play. Under the blue sky and white clouds, adults are chatting aside, and the children are playing on the slide and swinging by themselves, which is very comfortable. The floor with children's facilities is covered with soft sawdust, even if naughty children fall, there will be no problem, and the care and care for children can be said to be very meticulous.
Children growing up in such a unique environment is very beneficial to their physical and mental health. Get close to nature, naturally play with other strange children, and learn the emotional communication between people before going to kindergarten, so that children will not suddenly fall into anxiety and tension as soon as they enter school.
Various activities of children's library: every parliament (community) in Australia has its own library, and there will be a library near home 1-3 kilometers, which is not only convenient for reading, borrowing books and self-study, but also holds some activities all the year round, many of which are specially aimed at children.
1, baby time
You can tell by the name that this is for the baby. Generally, babies aged 0-3 will participate in activities accompanied by their parents. The activity lasted about half an hour. The content of the activity is generally to tell a short story, talk and then sing children's songs. Because the children are young, the painting style is relatively relaxed. Babies can meet many people of the same age at once, and singing, listening to stories and talking are very beneficial to their character development.
2. Storytelling time
This kind is held for children aged 3-5 and lasts for about half an hour. The general content is singing, dancing and telling stories. Because the baby is older, there will be more time to tell stories. At the end of each activity, something will be stuck on the children's clothes. At this time, the child needs to sit quietly and wait, and can't rush to grab it. Let the child learn to wait quietly invisibly, which is conducive to the shaping of the child's character. This is an environment that is difficult to have at home.
3. Holiday activities
After the children have a holiday, the library will also arrange corresponding activities. Most activities are free, and some only need raw materials from 5 yuan or 10 yuan, which will be marked on the library website. These activities include: designing your own bracelet, designing your own hat, designing your own cup, how to write a short story and so on.
It can be seen that these activities are all things that stimulate children's creativity. There are no standard answers to these activities. You can finally make all the things you designed, and then take them away, which can cultivate children's hands-on ability and stimulate their imagination, and it will be very fulfilling to do them well.
These activities only need to be reserved on the library website in advance, and then you can go directly to participate, which is very convenient. Of course, you can also make an appointment in the library in person or by telephone. Except for a few activities that require raw materials and the cost is slightly higher, most other activities are free.
Children's sports paradise: a person's habit of sports must be cultivated from an early age. If he didn't have the habit of exercising when he was a child and grew up ... you know.
At present, China also attaches great importance to cultivating children's sports habits, but it is not convenient enough due to the limitations of objective conditions.
In Australia, going out is a green space, and walking two places is a park. You can take your child out for a bike ride at any time. The school pays more attention to cultivating children's sports habits. It can be said that it attaches great importance to various outdoor sports, such as Australian regular football, rugby, swimming and other competitive sports.
In addition, it is worth recommending that Australia has a coastline of 25,760 kilometers, so water sports are particularly rich, especially surfing. Many children have been learning surfing since they were four or five years old. They have not only got great exercise in water, balance and responsiveness, but also have a particularly good figure. They have been attached to the sea since childhood, and the sea is a gift from God to Australian children.
Protection of demented and disabled children: Australia is in the leading position in the world in protecting and caring for vulnerable groups, which can be said to be one of the best, as can be seen from Australia's ranking in the human development index.
They not only have special schools, but also help mentally retarded and disabled children find jobs and integrate into society when they grow up.
It is often seen that some community organizations organize mentally retarded children to participate in some activities within their power. Outdoor venues are also considered for the disabled everywhere. Wheelchairs can be used everywhere as a standard, and there are even swings specially designed for disabled children.
With the help of all levels of society, disabled children can get more and better care, and will continue into adulthood.
You can get a full interest-free loan when you go to college: after your child goes to college, you can easily get a full interest-free loan, and the repayment policy is very loose. Until your child graduates and finds a job, your annual repayment amount will be determined according to your annual salary, which means that if you don't find a job, you don't have to pay it back for the time being. According to the recent regulations:
The annual income is 42,000 Australian dollars, and the repayment amount is 65,438+0% of pre-tax income; 52,000 Australian dollars, repayment of 4%. 9 1, 426 Australian dollars+,repayment of 7%? 84,565,438+03 Australian dollars+,with 7% repayment. The Australian government will wait until you have enough repayment ability to ask you to repay, and will not force you to be cornered and bear a huge psychological burden every day.
However, this benefit is limited to Australian citizens, which means that you can only enjoy it after naturalization, but permanent residents can also enjoy a 50% discount on tuition fees, but you can't borrow money. The tuition fee is only 50% of that of international students.
It doesn't matter if your child just graduated from high school and doesn't want to go to college. In addition to four-year undergraduate courses, there are many ways to study in Australia. There are 1 diplomas, 2-year advanced diplomas and various certificates 1-4. You can choose which one you want to study. There is no age limit.
So in the classrooms of Australian universities, you can see people of all ages, from fresh meat just graduated from high school at the age of eighteen or nineteen to people in their fifties and sixties. No matter why you study, no one will look at you differently.
1 year after graduation, if children feel that they really like this major, they can transfer to a four-year undergraduate program to continue studying this major, with a score of 75 or more (depending on the major), and they can skip the first-year course and start studying directly from their sophomore year. The flexible way of going to school is outrageous. In Australia, as long as you want to go to school and do something, the government will always provide you with convenience in various ways.
