AustralianSuper can help you with online webinars, in-person seminars, tools and calculators. You can access limited, single issue personal advice from a team of qualified financial advisers over the phone, or for broader areas or more comprehensive personal advice, access to a team of professionally qualified financial advisors.
You can plan with confidence with the Super Projection Calculator which helps estimate how much money you could get in retirement, while the Transition to Retirement (TTR) Calculator can show you ways to boost your super or maximise your income while working part-time3.
If you’re still working but would like to access some of your super, you can start a TTR income account alongside your regular super account. Once you’ve reached preservation age (the age at which you can access your super), a TTR strategy lets you draw some of your super while you are still working.
You can start this process by opening a TTR income account alongside your regular super account. This way, you could save more before you retire or you could wind back on work, while topping up your take-home pay. It can all add up to a better tomorrow for you.
