Frequently Asked Questions

Superannuation, often just called super, is a way to save for your retirement. It’s a system where your employer puts a small percentage of your salary into a super fund, which then gets invested to grow over time. This helps to ensure you have enough money to live comfortably when you retire. Super is important because it provides financial security and peace of mind for your future, helping you maintain your lifestyle even when you’re no longer working.

The amount you should contribute to your super depends on your financial goals and retirement plans. 

Getting personalised financial advice can help you determine the optimal contribution level based on your objectives and financial situation.

Typically, you can only access your superannuation once you reach your preservation age and retire. However, there are specific circumstances where you may be able to access your super earlier, such as severe financial hardship or certain medical conditions. It’s important to understand the rules around superannuation and get financial advice to explore your options.

Yes, most superannuation funds offer options to include insurance, such as life insurance, total and permanent disability (TPD) cover, and income protection insurance. Incorporating insurance within your super fund can provide financial security for you and your loved ones. Superannuation advice can help you understand the benefits and choose the right coverage.

Choosing the right superannuation fund involves comparing factors such as fees, investment options, and performance. It’s important to ensure that your chosen fund aligns with your financial goals and offers flexibility for future changes. Getting advice from a financial adviser can help you make an informed decision and provide peace of mind.

Contributing to your superannuation can offer significant tax benefits. For instance, salary sacrificing allows you to contribute pre-tax income to your super, which can reduce your taxable income. Additionally, certain contributions may be tax-deductible, providing further savings. Financial advice can help you understand how these benefits apply to your personal financial situation.

Salary sacrificing is an arrangement where you contribute part of your pre-tax income to your superannuation fund. This reduces your taxable income while boosting your super savings. It’s a tax-effective strategy that can be tailored to your financial goals and future needs. Consulting with a financial adviser can help you set up a salary sacrifice arrangement that fits your objectives.

If you have multiple superannuation accounts, consolidating them into a single account can help you reduce fees and simplify your super management. It’s important to review your options and consider any insurance or benefits you might lose by consolidating. Financial advice can guide you through the process and ensure it aligns with your overall financial plan.

Most superannuation funds offer a range of investment options, including conservative, balanced, and growth portfolios. The choice of investment strategy should align with your risk tolerance and retirement goals. Understanding the product disclosure statement (PDS) of each investment option can help you make an informed decision. A financial planner can assist you in selecting the right investment strategy for your super.

It’s advisable to review your superannuation annually or whenever there are significant changes in your financial situation. Regular reviews ensure that your super is on track to meet your retirement goals and allows you to adjust your investment strategy as needed. Financial advice can provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your super is being managed effectively.

Getting superannuation advice offers numerous benefits, including personalised strategies to maximise your retirement savings, tax optimisation, and informed investment decisions. Professional advice ensures that your superannuation is aligned with your financial goals, providing peace of mind and greater financial security for your future.

When you change jobs, your superannuation savings remain in your super fund unless you choose to move them. You can continue to contribute to the same super account, or you may decide to consolidate your super into a new fund. Getting advice on superannuation can help you manage your super effectively when changing jobs.

 

Your superannuation is invested in a range of assets, such as shares, property, and fixed interest, depending on your chosen investment strategy. The performance of your super is influenced by the market and the specific investments selected by your fund. A financial planner can help you understand how your super is invested and ensure it aligns with your risk tolerance and retirement goals.

A Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is a private superannuation fund that you manage yourself. SMSFs offer more control and flexibility over your investment choices but come with greater responsibilities, such as compliance and administration. Whether an SMSF is right for you depends on your financial situation, goals, and willingness to manage the complexities involved. Getting professional advice is crucial in deciding whether an SMSF is the best option for your retirement planning.

Yes, you can make after-tax contributions to your superannuation, also known as non-concessional contributions. These contributions are not taxed when they enter your super fund and can boost your retirement savings. However, there are limits to how much you can contribute, so it’s important to seek financial advice to ensure you’re making the most of your contributions without exceeding the cap.

 

Superannuation is a key component of your financial plan, providing long-term savings for retirement. It should be integrated with other financial goals, such as estate planning, debt management, and investment strategies. A comprehensive financial plan considers how your superannuation contributes to your overall financial security and helps you achieve peace of mind for the future.
