Age Pension Service

Our partners at Retirement Essentials help you get faster and easier access to your Age Pension or health card.

Access all your entitlements the easy way

We understand the Age Pension is an important source of retirement income for older Australians, and our members have told us just how complicated and frustrating the process of applying for it (and keeping it) can be.

A typical experience involves hundreds of complicated questions, multiple visits to a Centrelink office and long queues and wait times. Many people find it so complicated they give up or else delay going through the process of applying.

Retirement Essentials own research indicates people are delaying applying for the Age Pension by, on average, 3.2 years and costing themselves an average of $69,000. This is money most seniors can ill afford to do without.

Retirement Essentials makes applying for the Age Pension, and the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, easier:

Simple online process
Only one planned stress-free visit to Centrelink - avoid the backwards and forwards
Support from specialists throughout your application process
Confidence you are getting all your Age Pension entitlements

Even if you find you are not eligible for any Age Pension, you could be eligible for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card. This can get you cheaper medicine under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, bulk billed doctor visits and a bigger refund for medical costs when you reach the Medicare Safety Net.
