Whether retirement is just around the corner or still a little way off, having a clear plan can make a big difference. That’s why we’ve created a practical, easy-to-read guide called “Take control of your retirement in 8 simple steps”, and it’s available now on our Retire-Smart page.
This helpful guide walks you through the key things to think about as you get closer to retirement. It covers the basics, like when you can access your super and how to make the most of it, but also goes deeper into things like consolidating accounts, boosting your balance with extra contributions, and considering your investment options.
It even looks at how to start easing into retirement with a transition-to-retirement strategy, so you can cut back your hours without cutting back your income too much. And if you’re wondering how the Age Pension might fit in, the guide has that covered too.
What makes this guide especially useful is that it’s written for Australian Food Super members, so the steps align with the tools, services and advice available to you, whether through the mobile app, MemberAccess, or a chat with our Client Services team.
We know super can feel a bit complicated at times, but this guide breaks it down into manageable steps, helping you get organised and feel confident about what’s ahead.
You can download the Retirement Planning guide here or find it in the Retire-Smart section of our website.
