If I can put in my two bobs worth. If you've just retired or retirement is imminent may I suggest you contact the Centrelink Financial Information Services Officer on 13 2300 to make an appointment to see if/how you may be eligible for the Age Pension. The Age Pension is a right enacted by law. Also Centrelink regard the legislation covering the AP as 'beneficial' legislation i.e. their job is to ensure you can qualify - subject to the rules of course. FISOs are extremely helpful as they explain how to maximise your opportunity to claim the Pension. My experience with them - on several occasions - has been extremely beneficial to me and my wife. The service is free and comprehensive.
