A Transition to Retirement (TTR) account may help make the transition from work to retirement a lot easier. The TTR strategy is designed to give you time to prepare for life’s next milestone by providing access to your superannuation before you retire.
TTR lets you access your super while you’re still working, giving you time to get yourself ready for life’s next big adventure.
You can access some of your super prior to retirement with a TTR account. If you’ve reached your preservation age, are still working, and looking to retire in the not-too-distant future, a TTR account is worth considering. Enjoy a gentler transition from full-time employment to part-time retirement, without losing your income and security.

Opening a TTR account comes with some conditions. TTR accounts can only be released as a lump sum payment if you have satisfied a condition of release. Any unrestricted non-preserved components of these accounts are not counted.
Also note that temporary residents can’t access pensions.
