Make a withdrawal

To withdraw funds from your pension account, there are certain criteria set by the government that you'll need to meet. 

You can make a lump sum withdrawal from your pension account:

  • if you’re 65 or over;
  • if you’re between preservation age and 64 and have permanently retired;
  • if you have unrestricted non-preserved benefits*; or
  • if you’re between 60 to 64, but changed employers after turning 60.

You can return the Pension withdrawal application form via post to Locked Bag 2020 Newcastle NSW 2300. For assistance in completing this form or understanding eligibility requirements, please get in touch via 13 64 63.

Did you know? Once you've made an initial withdrawal using the form, you'll have easier access to the money in your account and can make subsequent withdrawals over the phone.
