Age Pension Expert Q&A - rules, common mistakes and how to qualify

19 December 2024

Our first Age Pension episode was a massive hit so we’re back with a second instalment.

In this episode of Super Insider, Age Pension expert Justin Bott from Services Australia returns, this time with ART’s Education Team Leader, Kane Everingham. Together, they tackle some of the most common – and misunderstood – questions about the Age Pension.

You’ll hear simple answers about who qualifies, what the income and asset tests involve, and how you can keep more money in your pocket.
