You apply for the Age Pension through Services Australia, online using myGov or by contacting Centrelink. The main eligibility rules, including age, Australian residency, income and assets tests, generally apply across Australia, so living in Hobart does not automatically change the pension rate. Your payment and any extra assistance will depend on your individual circumstances and Services Australia’s assessment. You may also want to check whether you qualify for a Pensioner Concession Card or other support through servicesaustralia.gov.au.
