Age Pension Assistance Sydney will act on your behalf with centrelink, and do the work so you don’t have to, taking the stress out of your application.
Other applications we can assist with:
Commonwealth Seniors Health Card
Cant apply for pension because your age pension application is over the income or assets test? Age Pension Assistance Sydney can also assist with the Australian Commonwealth Seniors Health Card (CSHC) is a concession card that helps eligible seniors get cheaper health care and some discounts. The card is available to self-funded retirees who meet income test eligibility rules. Some of the benefits of the card include:
- Cheaper prescription medicines under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
- Bulk billed doctor visits (at the doctor’s discretion)
- A higher Medicare Safety Net threshold
- Discounts on energy bills, rates, public transport fares and other services (depending on your state or territory).
Centrelink Home Equity Access Scheme
Do you own real estate and want to boost your pension payments?
You can apply for pension with The Centrelink Home Equity Access Scheme which is a voluntary loan scheme that lets older Australians who are Age Pension age or older get a non-taxable loan from the government using equity in Australian real estate as security.
The loan can be paid as a fortnightly amount, a lump sum, or a combination of both. The scheme has a no negative equity guarantee which means the debt can never exceed the value of the property.
You don’t have to repay anything until you exit the scheme, which happens if you choose to pay off the loan, or if you pass away.
Age Pension Assistance Sydney can help with the age pension application through the Centrelink HEAS
Reverse Mortgages
Do you own real estate but don't yet qualify for or wish to structure your payments differently than the Home Equity Access Scheme? Perhaps you are too young to submit an age pension application to apply for pension?
Age Pension Assistance Sydney can assist with reverse mortgages.
A reverse mortgage is just like a normal home loan, except that it has been designed for the needs of seniors. It allows people aged 60 and over to release equity in their home to fund a more comfortable and independent retirement.
As with the Home Equity Access Scheme, no regular repayments are required, though voluntary repayments can be made at any time.
