Why Is Your Preservation Age Important?

Your superannuation preservation age is important because it signifies the age that you are eligible to access your superannuation savings.

At the very least, your preservation age allows you to have limited access to your superannuation in the form of a transition to retirement pension, even if you are still working.

Alternatively, if you have reached your preservation age and satisfied the definition of retirement, you can have full, unrestricted access to your superannuation balance.

The definition of retirement includes:

  • Retired with no intention of returning to full-time or part-time work ever again; or
  • Having an employment arrangement come to an end after attaining age 60.

You should always be mindful of any tax implications resulting from a superannuation withdrawal, particularly while under age 60.
