Pre-Retirement Pension account

Our Pre-Retirement Pension is designed to help you ease as seamlessly as possible into retirement

How does a pre-retirement pension account work?

If you’re still working and have reached your preservation age, this account gives you the option to access your super as a pre-retirement pension (also known as a transition to retirement account). Until you reach retirement age, there are some restrictions:

  • Annual payments must be a minimum of 4% of your account balance and no more than 10%
  • Lump sum payments are not allowed.

How you can benefit

Save more

You could reduce your current and future tax bills, and investment earnings are taxed at 15% compared with your marginal tax rate. You can also continue to grow your super while you’re still working.

Work less

Enjoy more flexibility as you head towards retirement. Reduce your work hours with the comfort of knowing you can supplement your take home pay by accessing your super.

Are you eligible?

You must reach preservation age before you can access your super benefits. This age ranges from 55 to 60 depending on when you were born.
