Wherever you are on your retirement journey, we're here to help guide you along the way.
Super and retirement
Superannuation is the main way most Australians save for their retirement.
It’s a long term investment that grows over time. The more you contribute during your working life, the more you'll have for your retirement.
Except in very limited circumstances, you can't withdraw amounts from your super account or open an Income account until you've reached age 60 and meet the relevant conditions of release.
When you do reach age 60, in most cases you can start to access your super via an Income account, which can provide a regular, flexible and tax effective income from the superannuation you've accumulated over a lifetime.
