If you’ll be away overseas for longer than six weeks (for example, if you’re going on an extended trip or planning to move overseas permanently), then you must inform the Department of Human Services (via Centrelink).

You can continue to receive the base rate of the age pension while you are overseas but if you are away for an extended period of time, you may not be entitled to the pension supplement and energy supplement payments.
