How are the Agreement Pensions and Benefits Paid?
When You Live in AustraliaAustralian pensions are paid by Centrelink. Payments are usually made into a person’s nominated bank account every two weeks. Malta pays its own pensions and benefits through the Maltese Department of Social Security. People who get a pension from both countries, will get two separate payments – one from Australia and one from Malta. If you get a pension from Australia, Centrelink will pay it directly into your bank account every two weeks. If, however, you are living overseas, your pension will be paid directly into your bank account every four weeks.
