Overview How it works Member views FAQs Step Two - Set your goal

1. Get started

The Pathway is a five-step journey designed to help take complexity out of planning for retirement.

We’ll help you define your retirement goals and be on-hand with personalised support along the way to help keep you on track to achieve them.

Everybody's retirement destination is different

Whatever your retirement goals might look like, they’re unique to you. The Pathway can help give you a better chance of realising them.

You might want to travel, dine out regularly, move to the coast or downsize to the city. You might want to make the transition gradually and still work a few days a week, or even dedicate time to giving back to your community.

The Pathway helps you explore what you really want from retirement and then lays out a simple framework to help you achieve it – with our support available at every step. It considers things like your age, how much super you have, when you want to stop working and what actions you could take along the way.

What does your retirement journey look like?

Whether retirement still seems a long way off or feels like it’s approaching fast, the right time to get started on planning is today.

That’s because everything you do with your super between now and when you stop working can really make a difference when it comes to funding the lifestyle you want in retirement.

There’s also the possibility that the timing of your retirement could happen suddenly due to a health event or change in employment.
