Deciding when to retire is a big decision and one that is different for everyone
Most members have at least one common goal and that is to make sure they have the right level of income and flexible access to that income throughout their retirement. It can be a bit of a balancing act.
Planning is easy with the right support
So, whether you are planning your retirement or are already retired, there are a range of assistance and retirement income options to support your individual retirement journey.
Assistance
Wellness Hub: This is an online space where you can access articles on the key aspects of your superannuation. The content will expand over time, making this a key reference source. Examples of the types of articles that can be found on the Wellness Hub include:
-
- Asset classes typically available within superannuation
- Investment risk and return in superannuation

Retirement Planner: This is an online calculator, within the Wellness Hub, that allows you to enter information about your individual circumstances. Based on this information, the planner will project your superannuation balance and retirement income inclusive of the Age Pension and other assets outside of super, under variable contribution and drawdown strategies.

Retirement income options
- Account-based pension: This is a flexible retirement income stream purchased with superannuation savings. An account-based pension provides flexible access to expected retirement income through either regular drawdowns, or one-off payments. This option does not currently exist within the fund. However, we are committed to exploring an account-based pension option for members. If you are planning to retire in the next 12 months, please contact us to discuss your options.
- Age Pension: Based on your assets and income, you may be eligible for all or part of the Government Age Pension. If eligible, the Age Pension can provide you with an indexed income for life, regardless of market fluctuations.
You can find out more information on the Age Pension by clicking here.
