Understanding super

Superannuation is money you save now for when you're ready to kick back and relax in retirement. Super is partly compulsory, and there are limits to how much you can contribute each year.

There are different types of contributions Rest can receive on your behalf, like employer contributions, voluntary contributions and the Government co-contribution.

There are also rules and limits about when you can take money out of your super, like when you reach a certain age or can't work due to permanent disability, and how much you can withdraw. To find out more, including information on withdrawals from super, visit ato.gov.au/individuals/super
