Seniors & Pensioners Kit

This Seniors Kit sets out ways we are supporting our older Australians. You’ll find lots of information about services, general safety tips and ways to keep hold of more of your money, as well as the latest pension payment rates.

We know a lot of Australians are doing it tough. The Albanese Labor Government has committed to helping older Australians and ensure that they keep more money in their pockets. We are already working on lowering the cost-of-living by giving more older Australians access to the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, delivering cheaper medicines, and topping up the Age Pension work bonus income bank.

We’re making sure more older Australians have access to bulk billing doctors when they urgently need it, through our 58 bulk billed Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across the country, including our own local Urgent Care Clinic opening in Goodna in December 2024.

We’re also putting the care back into aged care,to make sure older Australians are treated with the respect they deserve. I am here to help you in any way I can—including connecting you to local services and supports.

Please do not hesitate to call my office on (07) 3879 6440 if we can be of any assistance.
