Age Pension eligibility in Hobart is generally based on your age, Australian residence history, income and assets, rather than where you live. Services Australia assesses your circumstances, including your home ownership, partner’s situation and other income or investments. If you rent privately and receive an eligible payment, you may also be assessed for Commonwealth Rent Assistance, while Tasmanian Government or local council concessions may be available separately. Check your eligibility and current rates through servicesaustralia.gov.au and the Tasmanian Government’s concessions information.
