When it comes time to transition to retirement, it’s not an all or nothing moment. A transition to retirement strategy allows you to reduce your working hours in the lead-up, and replace some of that pay by drawing an income stream from your super.
At Liston Newton Advisory, we assess your current and future financial situation and help you decide if a transition to retirement strategy is right for you. We then build a strategy that puts the wheels in motion for your retirement. It’s all about retiring on your terms.

You’re eligible for a transition to retirement pension if:
Preservation age is the age from which you can start to access your super.
Once you reach preservation age, you can begin accessing your super under a transition to retirement strategy.
However, you can still continue working once you reach preservation age, and many do. This means you and your employer can continue making super contributions up until you decide to retire.
The current government preservation age brackets are:
Transitioning to retirement is all about managing the last years of your working life as effectively as possible.
Once you reach preservation age, and still gainfully employed, you can do two things. You can:
Once you reach 60, you’re able to receive your super income tax-free, so the first strategy works best at this age. When drawing from your super, you’re able to withdraw a maximum of 10% of your pension account balance each financial year. No lump sum withdrawals are allowed.
If you’re 60 years or older, you pay zero tax on the superannuation payments that you withdraw.
If you’re between preservation age and 60, you will be taxed at your marginal tax rate on your taxable income. You’ll receive a 15% tax offset on your super drawdown.
Any investment earnings are taxed at 15%.
Under a transition to retirement strategy, you’re still working while you reduce your hours, and you can begin to draw from your superannuation. You can also continue making super payments as your work. You’re not able to make lump sum withdrawals of your super.
Under a superannuation pension you can withdraw your super in an income stream, or get it in one lump sum.
