Even though the Age Pension can deliver up to $29,000 each year in entitlements, research shows less than half of Australians apply on time. This means most eligible Australians are missing out on retirement income because they’re applying late, or making mistakes on their application – find out if you’re one of them with our Age Pension Eligibility calculator, or learn how to get the support you need by watching our Age Pension webinar.
