This group only addresses Social Security Disability Benefits in the U.S.

If you lived and worked in the U S. and have enough current work credits. You can apply for benefits. But, it will be difficult to impossible to be approved if you now live in another country.

Looked it up, seems Australia does have social security disability.

I'm in Canada and I am on disability, but I have lung involvement so I'm not sure if I would have qualified without that.
