Understanding Preservation Age
To access superannuation during the retirement phase, individuals must reach their preservation age, which varies depending on their date of birth. For most listeners born after June 30, 1964, the preservation age is 60, while those born before July 1, 1960, may have a preservation age between 55 and 59. Awareness of this age is crucial as it determines when individuals can begin accessing their superannuation for retirement. If a person reaches preservation age but continues to work, they must retire or change employers to access retirement phase benefits.
