    Transition to retirement (TTR) is a strategy available to Australians who have reached their preservation age but have not yet fully retired. It allows you to access some of your superannuation as a pension while still working, which can be used to supplement income or restructure salary and super contributions for tax efficiency. Whether TTR is appropriate depends on your age, super balance, income level, and retirement timeline.
