Actually you can go to dept of human services or just type australia pension in google, you can find all the answers including the income & asset limit as well as residency. It appears that you have to live in oz continuously for 10 years. By the time we retire back to oz, i think only my husband can get the pension. But we won't retire for at least 30 years, nobody knows what will happen then. Australia is a really good place for retirement. I love to go holiday with my caravan. Being return back to hk for 11 months now, i really miss it.
