How To Access My Super

Under section 90 of the Superannuation Act 2000, members can withdraw savings due to unemployment, retirement, disability, death, or emigration or use for Housing Advance payment towards purchasing, building or renovating their home.

If you haven't permanently retired

However, if you are still working and contributing to Nasfund, you can also access your savings after 12 months of unemployment.

Additionally, Nasfund allows early withdrawals under specific circumstances such as severe financial hardship after 3 months of unemployment, permanent disability, subject to their eligibility criteria.
