Accessing your super

Do you know the best way to access your super?

Once you have met a condition of release you can withdraw your superannuation as a lump sum or commence a superannuation pension.

By law, all super contributions are locked away or ‘preserved’ until you reach your preservation age. Your preservation age will be between 55 and 60, depending on your date of birth.
