For many people the Age Pension and Government concessions on expenses will be important in their retirement living. Australia is different from many other developed countries because social security benefits are means tested whereas in many developed nations an Age Pension is a right for all citizens when retirement age is reached.

The concessions provided to Age Pensioners are highly valued by many retirees who strive to get at least a part pension. However, the eligibility for social security benefits and calculation of entitlements is complex. This crash course provides an overview of the Age Pension and other common concessions.

  • PDF download of course material
  • Assessment quiz of 10 multiple choice questions with 80% correct required to pass
