Applying for the Age Pension can be an overwhelming process that can quickly take up a lot of time.

We can take the stress out of the application process for you and navigate you through the various

forms and possible complications. The process involves:

• A personal consultation.
• Commencement and completion of Age Pension submission.
• Arranging evidence documents for your application.
• Confirmation of receipt of entitlement.

There are many benefits to having a health care card. People who are not entitled for the Age Pension

due to being a self-funded retiree are often eligible for a health card.

We can provide an explanation of the differences between the Low Income HCC and the

Commonwealth Seniors HC and navigate you through both the application and renewal processes.

Applying and meeting annual renewal requirements can be a time-consuming process and it can be

difficult to acquire all of the required evidence. We can provide you with a personal consultation and

guide you from the very start right through to the confirmation of the receipt of your entitlement.
