Being 67 years old by september this year means I pass the Australia Pension age?? I get meager pension in the philippines.

All info needed are in www.homeaffairs.gov.au. You need to meet various requirements to be eligible. Your sponsor must be approved first by the department before he can sponsor you. You must meet health and character requirements,have assurance of support, meet the family balance test etc.
Meet family balance test....at least half of your eligible children are living Australia than any other single country.
You must be in Australia when you apply. A bridging visa is automatically issued upon application. You can work and claim benefits while on bridging visa. The wait is very long so probably youll be in bridging visa all your life.
