You can do this at any time by logging into your online account.

Changing or updating your beneficiary is simple. All you need to do is login to your online account, select ‘Beneficiaries’ under the ‘My super details’ tab and follow the prompts.
If you don’t choose a beneficiary, or your nomination is invalid, the trustee may use discretion to decide the beneficiaries in accordance with Superannuation Law, and this may not be to your estate.

How much super you’ll need to have saved by the time you retire will depend on:
- your expectations for things like travel, eating out, and helping out children and grandchildren;
- whether you’ll have any other income, such as part-time or casual work; and
- any debts that will continue after you’ve stopped working, such as your mortgage.

Super is specifically designed as a way of saving money for your retirement. Other than in a few exceptional circumstances, you can’t get hold of your super money until you reach retirement age or ‘preservation age’, which is determined by your year of birth. At 65 years you can get access to your money whether you’re working or not.
