You can apply for the Age Pension online through your myGov account linked to Centrelink, generally up to 13 weeks before you reach Age Pension age. You may need documents confirming your identity, residence, income, assets, bank details and any superannuation or investments. Services Australia will assess your claim against the relevant age, residence, income and assets rules, so approval and payment dates depend on your circumstances. Check the requirements and lodge a claim at servicesaustralia.gov.au, or contact Services Australia if you need help applying.
