Your Age Pension checklist should cover your age and Australian residency, plus the income and assets information used by Services Australia to assess your claim. Gather identity documents, your tax file number, bank details, superannuation and investment records, property information, and details of any partner or overseas residence. You can generally claim online through a myGov account linked to Centrelink, and it may be possible to apply before reaching Age Pension age. Services Australia makes the final decision based on your circumstances, so check the current requirements at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
