Frequently asked questions

Do age restrictions apply to CSC Retirement Profiles?

You can take up a CSC Retirement Profile if you're 60 or over and you meet a super condition of release.

CSC Retirement Profiles are designed for customers aged 60–70 who are about to retire. If you are age 75 and want a CSCri account that’s based on a profile, this specific tailored approach may not be as effective for your age. To consider your options call 1300 725 171.

If my spouse wants a CSC Retirement Profile, do they have to apply for the same one I choose?

While your spouse doesn’t have to apply for the same CSC Retirement Profile as you, we've designed our profiles to consider a couple as a whole. If you and your spouse choose a different profile, the profile objectives and outcomes may not align.

Can I restart a CSC Retirement Profile to add money?

Yes, however CSC Retirement Profiles are not designed to be stopped and restarted. If you’re adding money, you’re likely to have a different overall balance and your income needs may be different to the original CSC Retirement Profile you chose. To consider your options call 1300 725 171.

Can I take up a CSC Retirement Profile if I've claimed my PSS or CSS benefit?

Yes, however CSC Retirement Profiles are designed with specific criteria in mind. If your circumstances have changed, consider your options and call 1300 725 171.
