In June 2025, eligible older Australians receiving the Age Pension will see up to $1,725 deposited into their accounts, as part of the government’s regular pension payment schedule.
This payout reflects recent indexation adjustments made in line with inflation and the rising cost of living. The increase ensures that seniors continue to receive adequate financial support to cover daily expenses, healthcare, and housing needs.
Who Qualifies for the June 2025 Age Pension Payment?
To receive the $1,725 payment in June, an individual must be eligible for the full Age Pension rate. This typically includes Australian residents aged 67 or over who meet the required income and assets test. The pension amount varies depending on individual or couple status and whether supplementary benefits apply.
The full rate of $1,725 generally applies to couples combined (each receiving approximately $862.50) or individuals receiving additional supplements, such as rent assistance or the Pension Supplement. Single pensioners without additional assistance may receive a slightly lower amount, while those on partial pensions due to income or assets might see a reduced figure.
To remain eligible, applicants must:
- Be of Age Pension age (currently 67 for those born after 1957).
- Meet the residency requirement, having lived in Australia for at least 10 years.
- Pass the income and asset test limits as outlined by Services Australia.
When Will the Pension Be Paid in June?
Age Pension payments are made fortnightly. For June 2025, the key pension dates fall on:
| Payment Period | Payment Date | Pension Type |
|---|---|---|
| First June Payment | Thursday, June 8 | Age Pension (standard cycle) |
| Second June Payment | Thursday, June 22 | Age Pension (standard cycle) |
Those receiving their pension via direct deposit should see funds in their bank accounts by the payment date. Paper cheque deliveries may experience minor delays depending on postal services.
What If You’re Not Receiving the Full $1,725?
Not all pensioners will receive the full amount. The final payment depends on personal financial circumstances, such as income from superannuation, savings, property (excluding primary residence), and additional government benefits. Services Australia uses these details to determine the exact pension entitlement each fortnight.
For example, a pensioner couple who owns their home and has minimal additional income might qualify for the full combined amount. On the other hand, a retiree with rental income or significant assets may only receive a part pension. If you believe you qualify for more than what you’ve received, it’s advised to contact Centrelink or update your financial details through MyGov.
