Making your super work for you
When you retire from the workforce, you can access your super as a regular income stream or as a lump sum withdrawal, or a combination of both. If you are still working, you can also access an income stream from your super while you are transitioning to retirement. When deciding how you want to access your savings, you should consider your personal circumstances and what works best for you.
If you’ve reached age 60 and retired from employment, opening a Retirement Income Stream allows you to keep your balance in an account with us, and continue as an ElectricSuper member. Regular payments are made to your nominated bank account. These payments are tax free. You can choose how often you want to receive payments and you have the option to make additional lump sum withdrawals on top.
