Start by checking whether you have reached Age Pension age and meet the Australian residence rules. Services Australia generally assesses your income and assets, including savings, investments, property and superannuation, to work out whether you qualify and how much you may receive. Your relationship status and living arrangements can also affect the assessment, as well as related benefits such as Rent Assistance or concession cards. Use the official calculator and eligibility information at servicesaustralia.gov.au, because payment rates and individual outcomes can change.
