Age Pension rules are the same on the Central Coast as elsewhere in Australia. You generally need to have reached Age Pension age, meet residence requirements and pass income and assets tests, with your payment depending on your circumstances. You can claim online through myGov linked to Centrelink, or contact Services Australia if you need help with the process. Check the latest eligibility rules, rates and local service options at servicesaustralia.gov.au, as Services Australia makes the final decision on each claim.
