The Age Pension is a federal payment, so the main eligibility rules and payment rates generally apply across Australia, including Canberra. Services Australia assesses your Age Pension age, residency, income and assets, and your circumstances may also affect supplements or Rent Assistance. Canberra residents may separately qualify for ACT concessions, such as help with rates or transport, subject to the relevant ACT Government rules. You can check your options and lodge a claim through myGov or servicesaustralia.gov.au.
