You will not automatically receive the age pension or social security payments in Australia. You will have to wait:
two years for most social security payments
ten years for age and disability pension payments.
You could qualify for a Special Benefit payment from the Department of Human Services if you suffer a major change of circumstances that is beyond your control. Any payments you receive might be recoverable through your assurance of support for up to ten years after your arrival or the grant of your visa whichever is applicable to your circumstances. This 10-year period is not waived if you become an Australian citizen.

A newly arrived resident's waiting period applies to people who have not been Australian residents and in Australia for a period of, or periods totalling, 104 weeks (i.e. two years). Periods spent in Australia as an Australian resident, at any time in a person's life, can be counted towards the waiting period.
Payments with a newly arrived resident's waiting period include Newstart Allowance, Mature Age Allowance, Partner Allowance, Youth Allowance, Mobility Allowance, Austudy Payment, Sickness Allowance, Pensioner Education Supplement, Carer Payment and Special Benefit. The waiting period also applies to the Health Care Card and the Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card.
