The old age pension in Australia is not planned to stop in the foreseeable future. There are no current government indications that the Age Pension will be abolished nor discontinued. Rather, the Age Pension continues to be indexed and adjusted regularly, with the qualifying age now at 67 years. Eligibility rules and payment rates may change over time, but the pension itself is expected to remain as a fundamental part of support for older Australians.

Some predictions suggest possible changes around 2026 or beyond, such as increases in the pension eligibility age or changes affecting new entrants, driven by demographic and economic pressures, but these are speculative and not confirmed government policies.

In summary, the Age Pension will continue in 2025 and beyond, with no announced plans for it to stop, though eligibility and payment rules evolve with policy and economic conditions.
