With a TTR Income account, you could:
- grow your super faster
- receive a regular income from your super, alongside your salary
- access the rest of your money when you retire
- cut down your working hours, but keep the same take home pay.
Are you thinking about starting a TTR strategy, but you’re not quite ready? Want to know more about how you can use your super before you finish working to save more or work less?
How does TTR Income account work?
Your TTR Income account and super account will work together and may reduce the overall tax you pay. Since you’re still working, employer payments mean your super account balance continues to grow. At the same time you’ll receive income payments, transferred directly to your bank account.
Initially, you’ll use money from your super account to open your TTR Income account. Once your TTR Income account is set up, your two accounts will work together and help you transition to retirement.
Why TTR Income?
The money in your TTR Income account stays invested and continues to earn ongoing returns – just like your super.
You can have peace of mind knowing that AustralianSuper has a history of strong long-term returns+.

Am I eligible to transition to retirement?
To be eligible for transition to retirement (TTR), you must have reached the age at which you can access your super – known as your preservation age.
You'll need at least $30,000 in your super account to start a transition to retirement strategy. This is so you can move at least $25,000 to your TTR Income Account while leaving at least $5,000 in your super account ($10,000 if you have insurance cover).
