Overview

We’ve looked after your super and we can help you transition to retirement too.

With our Transition to Retirement Pension, you can:

  • Convert part or all of your super into a regular non-commutable income stream
  • Choose to receive between the minimum 4% and a maximum of 10% of your super account balance each financial year, calculated at the start of the financial year
  • Invest your account balance in a choice of investment options
  • Use Member Online to manage your account online
  • You can also change your super account structures if your personal circumstances change
  • Receive payments directly into your bank account monthly, quarterly or annually
  • Change the amount of pension you receive each year, subject to minimum and maximum limits set by the Australian Government
  • Continue to work and have your contributions paid into your GESB Super or West State Super account

If you’re 60 or over, your pension payments will be tax free.
