What to do if you start working while getting Age Pension

Published: 27 November 2024

If you recently started working, you’ll need to tell us.

You must tell us if you or your partner start any paid work within 14 days. You’ll need to report your and your partner’s employment income. If you don’t, we may pay you too much Age Pension.

You may be eligible for the Work Bonus, which lets you earn more income without reducing your Age Pension.
