Planning for retirement isn’t just about knowing your super balance—it’s about understanding how everything fits together. Your superannuation, Centrelink entitlements, investments, and savings all interact, and the way you use them can make a big difference to your income in retirement.
At Setch Group, we make this easier by breaking it down in simple terms. We show you where your money will come from, how long it’s likely to last, and what steps you can take to make it stretch further. Our advice focuses on smart trade-offs, such as using super to reduce reliance on the age pension, or structuring withdrawals to protect your Centrelink benefits.
We also consider the realities of retirement—market changes, inflation, and the rising cost of living—and build a plan that balances your lifestyle goals with financial security. For many people, that might include easing into retirement through part-time work or setting up a Transition to Retirement (TTR) income stream for greater flexibility.
Whether you’re just starting to think about retirement or only a few years away, our advisers will guide you through each step. The result is a clear plan, a stable and flexible income, and the confidence of knowing your future is in good hands... read less

Transition to Retirement (TTR) is a smart strategy within your broader retirement planning journey. It refers to the stage where you begin to reduce your working hours and ease into retirement, rather than stopping work all at once. With a well-structured retirement plan, you can start accessing some of your superannuation while still working part-time or full-time. This allows you to either supplement your income if you have reduced hours or continue building your super and save on tax if you are still working full-time. At Setch Group, we include TTR strategies as part of your personalised financial planning for retirement, helping you make the most of your super while keeping your long-term lifestyle goals in focus.
You can start a Transition to Retirement strategy once you reach your preservation age, which is between 55 and 60, depending on your date of birth. As part of your overall retirement plan, a Transition to Retirement (TTR) strategy can help you access part of your super while still working, giving you greater flexibility with your income. At Setch Group, our financial advisors for retirees can help you understand your preservation age and build a TTR approach that fits into your broader financial planning for retirement, whether you are easing into retirement or simply looking to boost your super and reduce tax while continuing to work.
A Transition to Retirement (TTR) account is a smart way to keep growing your super while you are still working, even after reaching your preservation age. It gives you access to part of your super as an income stream, capped at 10% of your super balance each financial year, without fully retiring. As part of your overall retirement investment plan, a TTR strategy can provide flexibility by supplementing your income, reducing your working hours, or even helping you save on tax. At Setch Group, we incorporate TTR into your broader financial planning for retirement and offer tailored investment advice to help your super work harder as you approach retirement.
If you are age 60 or older, your TTR pension payments are tax free. If you are 55 to 59 you are taxed at your marginal tax rate, but you get a 15% tax offset.
