Centrelink determines an applicant’s Age Pension payment rate by assessing their income and assets independently, this is referred to as the Means Test. The Means Test ensures the Age Pension is provided to those who need it most.

Our Age Pension Calculator has now been updated with Centrelink’s new income and asset thresholds plus the new payment rates. You will be able to quickly find out your entitlement based on your current financial situation.  Click here to re-check your Age Pension eligibility.

If you are eligible for a payment but haven’t lodged your application yet – stop delaying. You are missing out on your entitlement, which will only be back dated to the date that you lodge your application, not from when you became eligible.
