If you have Superannuation, and everyone does these days, you can get an allocated pension from that. Centrelink will not look at your house, it is exempt in relation to the Assets test, but the Super Allocated pension and any other investments will be looked at in relation to what Centrelink will pay to you, even a part pension can be very useful. The health card type benefits can be very important to many people even if its just used to get the discounted pharmacy charges (like total charges of $5-6 per script).
There are many online pensiom calculators, and most Super funds provide advice freeto members.
I would find out what you can, before you approach Centrelink, and don't bother phoning them it's a waste of time, go in to see them in person.
