A woman in Australia can legally retire at any age, as there is no mandatory retirement age. However, the average age at which women retire is about 63.2 to 64.8 years based on recent data, while the official Age Pension eligibility age is currently 67 years. Women can access their superannuation from age 60 if they meet preservation age requirements and have retired permanently, but they become eligible for the government Age Pension at 67, subject to income and asset tests. Women tend to retire slightly earlier than men on average.
