The Australian government has confirmed new Centrelink payment rates that will start on 30 November 2025. These changes affect major benefits such as the Age Pension JobSeeker Payment, Disability Support Pension and Parenting Payment along with various supplementary allowances. Recipients will receive higher fortnightly payments through the standard indexation process that helps benefits keep up with inflation and increased living expenses. The update includes changes to eligibility requirements & income thresholds along with important payment dates to help Australian households manage their budgets better in the coming months. These regular adjustments ensure that government support maintains its value as the cost of living continues to rise across the country. The changes apply to millions of Australians who rely on these payments for their daily expenses and financial stability.

Workers with low earnings and retirees who own few assets may now qualify under expanded income ranges that help more families stay eligible. The changes also make the application process simpler so families and pensioners can better understand what they can claim.
