The Age Pension rate is generally set nationally, so living in Hobart does not create a separate Tasmanian rate. Eligibility usually depends on your age, Australian residence history, income and assets, with the current pension age being 67. You may also qualify for Rent Assistance if you receive an eligible payment and pay qualifying rent, but this is assessed separately. Services Australia decides your entitlement and payment rate based on your circumstances, so check the latest rules at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
