When you start planning your retirement you are likely to have a lot of questions.

This section introduces some of the basics to help you answer those questions.

• When can I access my super? For most people, super becomes accessible when they reach preservation age (which is currently 55) and retire, although there are other ways.
• How much do I need? While everyone's situation is different, determining how much you need is a great starting point for planning your retirement.
• How can I maximise my retirement savings? There are a number of things you can do in the years leading up to retirement to help maximise your savings.
• What is a Transition to Retirement? Transition to Retirement provides you with the flexibility to boost your super or your income, or reduce your working hours if you have reached preservation age.
