Periods of qualifying residence
In addition to the requirement to be an Australian resident at the time of claiming, some social security payments (generally, the "pension" type payments which are intended as long-term support) require that a person has been an Australian resident for a certain period of time. For example, to qualify for Age Pension generally a person must have ten years residence in Australia. This residence requirement is called a "qualifying residence requirement" for social security purposes. These ten years can be made up of periods of residence at any time in a person's life, as long as at least one period is more than five continuous years. Other payments with prior residence requirements include Disability Support Pension (ten years), Parenting Payment (two years) and Widow Allowance (two years).The purpose of the long residence requirements for Age and Disability Support Pensions is to ensure that these payments for the long-term contingencies of life are only granted to people who have a genuine, long-term connection with Australia. This is necessary to protect Australian Government funds, which come from general revenue.
