Set up a Retire Ready meetingWhat is a Retire Ready meeting?
Start planning your retirement journey
If you’re looking to retire in the next five years or have already retired, then a Retire Ready meeting is a great option.
It’s a one-on-one discussion with you, where a retirement consultant listens to your questions and concerns about retirement, and offers general advice and information to help you prepare for a great life after work. And partners are welcome to join.
A retirement consultant can educate and support you as you plan your retirement journey, to show that the more information you have, the more confident you can be when it’s time to make those super decisions.
Super can be complex, we completely understand that. And we’re here to help make sense of the rules around super. And we’re happy to spend time helping members like you get a deeper understanding of specific subjects, like Transition to Retirement (TtR) or super-related tax rules.
What's more, it's at no cost to you
Key discussion topics
Get specialist guidance
Our retirement consultants can work with you to explore different topics such as:
- any recent super changes and what these could mean
- age-based tax and super strategies that could boost savings before retirement
- contribution strategies, including transition to retirement rules
- retirement income option, including the Age Pension
- goals and next steps, and what we can do to help you make the ideal retirement lifestyle a reality
Of course, you can ask as many questions as you like. While a retirement consultant can only offer general advice—which means giving information about telling you what you should do—your questions can steer the discussion in the direction(s) that you are most interested in.
Three takeaways
1: Understanding how tax works in super contributions vs. super benefits
2: Understanding how Transition to Retirement works, because it could be a great way to grow your super while working, or reduce working hours without reducing income
3: Understanding how investment options work, because our investment menu has over 20 options from which to choose.
The big picture
We like to look at the big picture and see you through the whole retirement planning journey—it’s a key part of our award-winning member service offer.
While a retirement consultant provides a summary of the discussion and answers additional queries, a member solutions consultant will get in touch with you to check on progress—to action any decisions you want to make or to help you access comprehensive advice which can provide recommendations on what to do next. Whatever you decide to do, we’re here to help.
