Will Australia top up our NZ old age pension?

We have been told Australia will top up our NZ old age pension to Australian level. But since I don't qualify for the old age pension yet, what happens? Do I get the married couple benefit that I would in NZ? Or does my husband who will soon qualify for the age pension get his portion only? In Australia there is no wife age pension.

Hi there,

I think the best thing to do would be to contact CentreLink to ask about this. If you are in NZ, the international number to call is +613 6222 3455. Let us know how you got on!
