Venue: Lecture Theatre S4, Building 25, Clayton campus

If you are exploring your retirement options, this seminar will provide you with an alternative to leaving your job.

Transition to Retirement is a government initiative that enables you to take some of your super in the form of a non-commutable income stream (a pension that you cannot cash in) without having to retire or finish work.

This seminar also explores an alternate application where you can remain in full-time employment, commence a Transition to Retirement pension and salary sacrifice the excess income back into super.

For members aged 60 or more this seminar focuses on the impact that these approaches may have on your retirement planning, retirement lifestyle, and final benefit. It explores the process involved with these strategies, including any relevant rules and regulations.

The seminar will cover:

Why transition to retirement?
The conditions
Taxation of pensions
The semi-retiree
The wealth accumulator
