Pension Supplement rules have changed for people who live or travel outside Australia.
If you travel outside Australia temporarily, you’ll keep the full Pension Supplement for up to 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, we’ll stop paying it.
If you leave Australia to live overseas, we’ll stop paying Pension Supplement when you leave.
If you’re already living overseas, your Pension supplement will have stopped.
