How do I claim the Age Pension in Hobart and are there any local concessions I should check?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Age Pension eligibility in Hobart is generally assessed under the same residency, age, income and assets rules that apply across Australia. You can claim through myGov linked to Centrelink, or contact Services Australia if you need help with the application. Depending on your circumstances, you may also be able to access benefits such as the Pensioner Concession Card, Rent Assistance or Tasmanian concessions. The amount and concessions available are decided by Services Australia and the relevant Tasmanian authority after considering your individual situation.
