When can I start a Transition to Retirement Income Stream (TRIS)?

Broadly, a member can commence a TRIS once they have reached their preservation age (even if they continue to work).

A member’s preservation age is between 55 and 60, depending on when they were born (members born before 1 July 1960 have a preservation age of 55, whereas members born after 30 June 1964 have a preservation age of 60).

 

Date of Birth	Preservation Age
Before 1 July 1960	55 years
Between 1 July 1960 and 30 June 1961	56 years
Between 1 July 1961 and 30 June 1962	57 years
Between 1 July 1962 and 30 June 1963	58 years
Between 1 July 1963 and 30 June 1964	59 years
After 30 June 1964	60 years
