Common Questions

Age Pension FAQs

How long does an Age Pension application take?

Centrelink aims to process Age Pension applications within 49 days, but this can vary. We help ensure your application is complete and correct from the start to avoid unnecessary delays.

Can I apply for the Age Pension if I have superannuation or savings?

Yes. Having superannuation or savings does not automatically disqualify you. Centrelink applies an income and assets test — you may still be eligible for a full or part pension. We can assess your specific situation.

What documents do I need for an Age Pension application?

Typically you'll need proof of identity, bank statements, details of assets and income, superannuation statements, and property information. We'll provide you with a complete checklist tailored to your situation.

Can you help if my Age Pension application was rejected?

Yes. If your application was rejected or your payment rate seems incorrect, we can review the decision and assist with a formal review or appeal through Centrelink or the Administrative Review Tribunal.

Do you charge for an initial consultation?

We provide a clear, fixed fee quote before any work begins. Contact us to discuss your situation and we'll let you know exactly what's involved and what it will cost.
