Making a withdrawal
The Government requires you to meet certain conditions before you can access your superannuation as a lump sum or pension.
The access rules for superannuation have changed over time resulting in different superannuation preservation categories.
Depending on the date and source of contributions or rollovers to your account, you may have one or more of the following categories:
- preserved superannuation benefits
- restricted non-preserved superannuation benefits and
- unrestricted non-preserved superannuation benefits.
