Welcome to Pension Experts: Your Centrelink and Aged Care Entitlement Specialists
Dealing with Centrelink can be confusing, time-consuming, and frustrating. Whether you’re unsure about your Age Pension, Disability Support Pension, Carer’s Payment, or managing a complex financial structure, Pension Experts is here to help. We specialize in navigating the complex rules of Centrelink to ensure you receive every benefit you’re entitled to, without the headaches.
Are These Centrelink Issues Keeping You Up at Night?
We’ve helped hundreds of people solve problems like these:
"Am I receiving the right amount of pension?"
If you're uncertain about whether you're receiving the correct payments, you’re not alone. We help part-pensioners and self-funded retirees make sure they’re getting everything they’re entitled to, leaving no stone unturned.
"I’ve received a Centrelink debt notice—what should I do?"
A debt notice can be a huge source of stress. We help you understand why the debt was issued, resolve it with Centrelink, and work with you to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
"How does Centrelink treat my trust, SMSF, or company income?"
Centrelink’s rules around trusts, SMSFs, and company income are notoriously complex. We specialize in these cases and can help ensure your assets are structured in a way that maximizes your payments.
"What will happen to my pension if one of us passes away?"
Understanding how your pension changes when a spouse passes away is critical. We help ensure that you’re protected, and that your entitlements remain optimized.
"Am I missing out on benefits as a self-funded retiree?"
Many self-funded retirees assume they’re not eligible for Centrelink benefits, but that’s not always the case. We conduct a thorough review to ensure you’re not missing out on any entitlements you may be eligible for.
"I’m entering aged care—how will that impact my Centrelink payments?"
Transitioning into aged care can have a major impact on your entitlements. We help calculate how aged care fees, means testing, and Centrelink payments interact, ensuring you get the best financial outcome.

We provide personalized assistance for:
- Part-pensioners and self-funded retirees who are unsure if they’re receiving the correct payments.
- Individuals or couples who are preparing to move into aged care or home care and need help understanding their entitlements.
- People with complex financial structures like trusts, SMSFs, or companies, who want to know how these affect their Centrelink benefits.

Who Pension Experts Is NOT For
While we provide a specialized service, there are certain areas we don’t cover:
- We do not handle new Disability Support Pension (DSP) applications. However, we provide advice and guidance for existing recipients or prospective recipients looking to optimize their financial situation.
- We do not handle new JobSeeker Allowance applications, payments related to allowances, or Child Support issues. However, we specialize in helping with pension payments from Centrelink, such as the Age Pension, Disability Pension (for existing recipients), and Carer's Pension, ensuring you're receiving the maximum entitlements you're eligible for.
