What details do I need to complete a cash withdrawal on the form?
What happens next?

A withdrawal form (also known as a benefit payment form) is used to make a full or partial withdrawal from your super account.

Before starting a withdrawal application, it’s important to know if you’re eligible to access your super. To find out if you’re eligible, click here.

Understanding when you can access your super

As your super is your money saved for retirement, there are only a few circumstances where you might be able to access your super.

If you're 60 or above, and you've fully retired or reached age 65 you can withdraw money from your super. Learn more about withdrawing your super here.

I have a Rest Super or Rest Corporate account: If eligible you can withdraw money using the Withdrawal Form.

I have a Rest Pension account: You can change your pension payment amount online via MemberAccess or by calling us.

Rest Pension Retirement account members can withdraw a lump sum from their pension account in MemberAccess or by calling us.

For completing in MemberAccess:

  • Log in to MemberAccess
  • Click on ‘Pension’ in the top menu, then on ‘Apply for a partial withdrawal’

Other ways to withdraw from your Rest Pension account

I have a Rest Pension – Transition to Retirement account: You are unable to make cash withdrawal unless you meet another condition of release.
