It’s worth paying attention to new opportunities to get more into super after the lowering of the minimum age for downsizer contributions to 55.

Downsizer super contributions are one-off contributions people can make if they sell their home and meet a range of conditions (such as having owned the home for at least 10 years and never having used the downsizer rules before). Importantly, anyone who meets the conditions can make a downsizer contribution, no matter how much they already have in super. And the amount is potentially large – up to $300,000, or $300,000 each in the case of couples.
