The Pension Checker 2025-2026

Pension Checker 2026

Know what you’re entitled to. Maximise your pension with clarity and confidence.
Pension Checker by FACES

At Financial Aged Care Entry Solutions (FACES), our role is to help Australians understand how the Age Pension system works and what they may be entitled to under the current rules.

Pension Checker is a structured, paid fact-finder that applies the latest Centrelink thresholds and assessment rules to the information you provide — allowing you to see where you stand before completing any application.

Unlike free online calculators, Pension Checker delivers clear, documented results and removes the guesswork around pension eligibility.

At the end of this form, you’ll be able to choose how you’d like to proceed — either managing the application yourself using the information provided, or having FACES prepare the Centrelink forms for you.

What Pension Checker provides

A personalised pension estimate based on the information you supply
A PDF summary of your results for your records
A FACES pension information sheet explaining key rules and common misunderstandings
Current Centrelink Age Pension application forms, ready for review

If your estimated pension entitlement is $0, you will not be required to pay to proceed.

We do not lodge applications or upload personal documents on your behalf.

Why this matters

Many Australians never formally confirm what they are entitled to under the pension system. Understanding your position early can help avoid confusion, delays, and unnecessary stress — particularly when dealing with Centrelink for the first time.
