Frequently Asked Questions About Retirement
Planning in Australia

When should I start planning for retirement?

It’s never too early to start planning for retirement. The earlier you start, the more time you have to save and invest for retirement. However, even if you haven’t started planning yet, it’s important to start as soon as possible.

How much should I save for retirement?

The amount you need to save for retirement will depend on your retirement goals and expenses. A financial adviser can help you determine your savings goals based on your unique circumstances and goals.

What is the age pension, and how do I qualify for it?

The age pension is a government benefit that provides a regular income stream to eligible retirees. To qualify for the age pension, you must meet certain age and income and asset requirements. The eligibility criteria change regularly, so it’s important to check the current criteria before you retire.

Can I access my superannuation before retirement age?

Generally, you can only access your superannuation when you reach your preservation age and retire. However, there are some circumstances where you may be able to access your superannuation early, such as in cases of severe financial hardship, permanent disability, or terminal illness.
