The Age Pension rules are the same on the Gold Coast as elsewhere in Australia, with eligibility generally based on your age, residency, income and assets. You can claim through Centrelink online using myGov, or contact Services Australia if you need help with the process. If you rent, you may also be assessed for Rent Assistance, while eligible Queensland pensioners may access concessions such as reduced-cost public transport or rates assistance, depending on the scheme. Check your circumstances and current requirements at servicesaustralia.gov.au and the Queensland Government website.
