How to manage your payment

If you get Age Pension and your circumstances change, you need to tell us. We need to check if you can keep getting it.

You can normally get Age Pension while outside Australia. We base the amount we can pay you on how long you’re away.

You can have an authorised representative to deal with us on your behalf. You can authorise them to enquire, update, act or get payments for you.

We may ask you to do reviews to check if you can keep Age Pension.

How much you or your partner get paid affects your payment. We need to know what you both get paid so we can pay you the right amount.

You can get help to manage your money if your bank account is overdrawn.
