Change your income payments

Make a contribution

While you can't make contributions to an Income account once it has been opened, you can close your current Income account and restart a new Income account with additional funds.²

To do this, complete a Restart an Income account with more money (pdf) form. Alternatively, you may be able to make contributions to an Accumulation account.

Make a withdrawal

You can make lump sum withdrawals from your Retirement Income account whenever you want to.³ To do this, send us a completed Make a Withdrawal from an Income Account (pdf) form.

Generally, you cannot make lump sum withdrawals if you have a Transition to Retirement Income account.

Decide who gets your super when you die

Your super does not automatically form part of your estate, even if you have an up-to-date Will.

To help you take control of who receives your money if you die, you can nominate a reversionary beneficiary or make a binding death benefit nomination.

If you receive regular Centrelink payments, make sure you talk to Centrelink or get financial advice before restarting your account as this may affect your payments. Refer to the Income Account Guide (pdf) for more information.
