How are pensions and benefits paid?
If you get an Australian pension in Australia, Centrelink will pay it directly into your bank account every two weeks. If you get an Australian pension in Japan, Centrelink will pay it directly into your bank account usually every four weeks. If you get a pension from Japan it can be paid to you in Australia. Some people might get pensions from both countries so they will get two separate payments – one from Australia and one from Japan.
