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: Can you advise me whether both the Downsizer Rule and the Bring Forward Rule can be used concurrently? For example to facilitate 2 large amounts from the sale of one’s residential home going into one’s Super Accumulation account?

Yes, the downsizer and bring forward rule can be used together.

For example, one individual could make a $660,000 non-concessional contribution during 2025-26 using a three-year bring forward arrangement and the maximum $300,000 downsizer contribution together.

This assumes the individual is eligible to use the 3-year bring forward arrangement and is not already in an active bring forward period.

It is not necessary to separate the contributions from one another. One large contribution can be made, and part of that contribution can be notified to the fund as a downsizer amount.

Learn more in our case study demonstrating combining bring forward with downsizer.

You can also learn more about the bring forward rule, including eligibility conditions, here.

A high income is great for building wealth, but it can mean more tax on your super contributions. Find out how Division 293 tax could affect you..
