Centrelink Changes from 20 March 2026 – What Retirees Need to Know
From 20 March 2026, two key changes will affect Age Pension recipients:

📈 1️⃣ Deeming Rates Increasing
Centrelink will assume a higher rate of return on financial assets:
• Lower deeming rate increases from 0.75% to 1.25%
• Higher deeming rate increases from 2.75% to 3.25%
Deeming is how Centrelink estimates income from your financial assets (cash, term deposits, shares, managed funds) for the income test.
💰 2️⃣ Age Pension Indexation
Pension payments are increasing:
• +$29.70 per fortnight (single)
• +$22.40 per fortnight (each member of a couple)
• +$44.80 per fortnight (couple combined)

While pension payments are rising, the higher deeming rates may reduce entitlement for retirees with larger financial assets.
⚖ The net outcome will depend on your personal asset position.
If you’re unsure how this affects you, now is the time to review your retirement income strategy.

Any questions you may have contact our Team at Element Wealth Solutions 43128119.
