The Government Age Pension is a fortnightly income from the Australian Government designed to help eligible older Australians supplement their retirement savings.

Am I eligible to receive the Age Pension?

To qualify for the Age Pension, you’ll need to meet the Government’s eligibility requirements. These may include but are not limited to:

reaching Age Pension age

satisfying both income and assets tests.

How much is the Age Pension?

How much you get depends on your income and assets tests, and whether you're single or in a couple.

As a guide, here are the current payments for those who are entitled to the full Age Pension.
