The Pension Supplement has more than one amount, and which one you get depends on your situation. The maximum amount is paid to most pensioners in Australia. The basic amount is a smaller part that continues in some situations, such as when you are overseas long term. The minimum amount is the floor for part-pensioners.

Amounts differ for single people, members of a couple, and people in an illness-separated couple. The rate table shows each amount so you can see how they compare.
