Financial investments
The value of your financial investments counts in the assets test and income test for payments from us.
Rural customers and primary producers
Some rural properties and farms have more than one title or larger blocks than residential properties. The asset test rules are different for these properties.
Income specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians
If you or your partner has income you need to let us know so you don’t get a debt. This includes if you get special types of income.
Granny flat interest
A granny flat interest is an agreement for accommodation for life. It can affect your eligibility or rate of payment and we may include it in your assets test.
