Age Pension rules in 2026 can depend on your age, residency, income, assets and relationship status. The pension age is currently 67, while payment rates and income and asset test limits may be updated through indexation. Your home is generally treated differently from other assets, but investments, superannuation and employment income can affect the amount payable. Services Australia makes the final decision for each claim, so check the latest rates and eligibility rules at servicesaustralia.gov.au before applying.
