Age Pension eligibility in 2026 generally depends on your age, residency, income and assets, with Services Australia assessing your individual circumstances. Payment rates and income and assets test thresholds can change through indexation, so the figures applying in 2026 should be checked on the official Services Australia website. You may also qualify for related support, such as the Pensioner Concession Card or Commonwealth Rent Assistance, depending on your situation. Services Australia makes the final decision after you claim and provide the required information.
