  1. As a rule, most kinds of Centrelink payments are portable, albeit with a small reduction in the amount you will receive. As far as I know there is no reporting that can not be done via the internet. Claiming the old age pension is a slightly different matter. There are countries that have reciprocal agreements with Oz and you can go live in those countries and receive a full OA pension with no problems. Cambodia however is not on the list. Basics of claiming an Australian Old Age pension. 1. You must be in Australia to claim it. 2. You must be 65 or over when you claim it. 3. You must be a permanent resident two years prior to claiming it. Note: not just a resident for tax purposes, you must reside in Oz. This is what causes us world wanderers trouble. If you have been out of the country for a substantial part of the two years leading up to your claim then you will possibly be classed as a returning resident, so you must declare that you intend to remain living in Australia and must remain in Australia for two years after your claim. This will be checked. You will be paid a full pension during that two years. However, if you go on holiday outside Oz then your pension will be stopped for the duration of that holiday. The reason for the two years (they say) is to prove that you plan to remain a resident of Australia and didn't just return to grab the money and run. If you should innocently mention that you plan to bugger off after the two years, your pension will be stopped. In a nutshell, to receive the Australian Old Age pension you must be 65 or over, return to Oz full time and become a resident for ever. Important Note: Centrelink and Immigration computers are linked. From Centrelink: You can generally get Age Pension for the total period of absence however, after 13 weeks your rate may change. It may change again if you remain outside Australia for more than 26 weeks. This above is after you have qualified the two years.
