A false claim circulating online that the pension age in Australia will rise to 68 this month has been republished by Google AI.
The false information, published by HIIT5158.com.au, claims the "official retirement age" in Australia will move from 67 to 68 from November 10, 2025, affecting anyone "born on or after 10 November 1958".
The information was then picked up by Google AI and was presented in its Overview for some searches.

Australia does not have an official retirement age.
Australians can retire at any age if they have the financial means to do so.
Superannuation can generally be accessed when an individual reaches "preservation age", which is ordinarily somewhere between 55 and 60 depending on when you were born.
Currently, to be eligible for the government's Age Pension you must be 67 or older.

"The Age Pension eligibility age is 67, however you may apply up to 13 weeks earlier," the spokesperson said.
Current and correct information on the Age Pension and all social security payments is available on the Services Australia website.
