Australian pensions

You may be able to claim a pension from us if you’ve:

• lived in Australia but now live in an agreement country
• worked in an agreement country but now live in Australia, even if you aren’t eligible under the normal rules.

Overseas pensions

We can help you claim a pension from any agreement country while you’re living in Australia.

We can:

• send claim forms to you
• tell you how the claim process works in that country
• tell you which documents you’ll need
• help you give all the details you need to make your claim go through as quickly as possible.

We may also advise on how to claim a pension from a country that doesn’t have an agreement with Australia.
