Income for partner

Hi, apologies if this has been answered.  My husband is turning 65 this month and applied for Aged Pension.  I'm 60 and work part time.  How much can I earn before his pension of $600/fn is affected?  thanks!

There is an Interactive Asset Test Estimater and Payment Finder.

Thanks Abby, am I correct that I'm only allowed to receive $292/fn for salary before my husband's age pension is reduced? 

So, for those that are interested, I've found out while my husband is receiving the pension, I can only earn $292 a fortnight after which his pension is reduced.  Even though if I was on a pension I would receive $600 a fortnight.  Am I missing something here?
