Help Us Fight for
Australian Seniors

Australia Pension Community is an independent, non-partisan platform. Every tool, guide, and piece of research we publish is free. Your support keeps it that way.

Why This Work Matters

A forensic audit by Scott Hill, CEO of the Australian Pension Community Support Network, has quantified the scale of failure in Australia's Age Pension system. These are not estimates — they are figures drawn from the ANAO, Services Australia, and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

$5 Billion

in incorrect pension payments (ANAO, 2024)

$1.33 Billion

in direct underpayments to eligible seniors

84 Days

average wait time at peak crisis (early 2024)

$790 Million

estimated annual loss from system friction

What We Do

Free Legal Tools

Eligibility checker, underpayment scanner, appeal letter generator, FOI request templates — all free, all built for seniors.

Peer Support Community

A safe space for seniors to share experiences, find Pension Support Advocates (PSAs), and learn from others who have successfully appealed.

Independent Research

Forensic audits like Scott Hill's report that hold the system to account and give seniors the evidence they need to fight back.

Advocacy & Reform

Petitions, MP contact tools, and media resources that turn individual stories into collective pressure for systemic change.
