Looking to ease into retirement? If you’re aged 60 to 651 and still working, you can reduce your hours of work and start using your super to top up your income.

  • Regular income payments2: Choose how often and how much you’d like to be paid from your super while you’re still working.
  • Tax benefits: From age 60, income payments from your TTR are tax free.
