$19-60 for a single person and $14-70 per person per couple are the new rates quoted. Sadly I could not provide a link as I think my laptop has given up the ghost, grrr. No doubt bear will be onto it soon... Cheers Itsa  |

No doubt bear will be onto it soon... Cheers Itsa Been onto it since it was first asked about by twentypoints on March 1st Itsa. I then provided the minister's media release on 4th March; to no further interest since..... Go figure 'n' here it is again. Cheers 🐻 dspoverseas.proboards.com/thread/7919/march-increase |

I always check www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/payment-schedule-and-rates-for-people-outside-australia?context=22526According to the 4 weekly payments schedule I go from AUD$2060.60 to AUD$2097.80 which is an increase of $37.20 per 4 weeks. It might nearly make up for the drop in the exchange rate...  I wont see the full cash increase until my end of May payment and my Yahoos and other such cries of wonder and excitement will be diminished by wondering what the September 2025 increase might be! ... |

I'm so happy for you mate , it's great to see at least one battler getting one over the Bastards 🤣🤣🤣 I haven't got the money yet though Itsa. I only ever believe it when I see it in my bank account.... lol I don't know how many use Wise transfer service, and I started because aussiebernie put me on to it, but they have been the most clearcut service I have used. Sorry aussiebernie if you didn't earn a referral fee. But I've noticed, coincidental or not, that the best exchange rate AUD$->PhP occurs around the 4 week pension payment time! I'd imagine it would be similar in Thailand and other SE Asian countries but I haven't checked. Cheers Denis-NFA |

Just received my pension, along with the latest CPI increase included. Now I know I probably won't receive the full increase until the next payment date on the 9th of April. Today I received the princely sum of $3 fu###ng farcical!!! it is. Treating us Australians overseas with contempt, or below it if possible, but they will find a way to do so. I'm doing my best to refrain from using foul language but by Christ, it's damned difficult. I genuinely hope that you guys do better. Cheers Itsa  |
