Superannuation considerations for couples: How to get the best outcome for your family

Wednesday 25 February 2026 at 11:00 am AEST

This webinar will highlight some of the simple, yet effective ways that spouses can optimise their combined superannuation balances.

We will show you how you can legally access your combined retirement savings earlier, ways to obtain ongoing tax benefits in your retirement and what you can do to manage upcoming legislative changes to the superannuation rules.

During this 1 hour webinar, the SuperGuide team will not only identify these issues, but we will show you how to implement them effectively.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Watch our previous webinar, Super strategies for 2026.

Q: When a superannuation fund enters the pension phase, all investment earnings become tax-free on both the taxable and tax-free components. Are these tax-free earnings allocated to the tax-free and taxable components in the same proportion as the existing balance, or are all tax-free earnings added solely to the tax-free component?

See Garth’s video answer here.

An essential part of planning for retirement is to consider how you will use your super savings to support you when you step away from work.
