Leaving Police and moving into full-time retirement is a significant transition. Whether you are looking forward to travelling, spending more time with family, exploring new interests or simply slowing down, planning for your finances, health, lifestyle and social connections can make the transition easier and help you approach retirement with confidence.

This guide brings together practical information, tools and resources to help you prepare for life after work and make the most of your retirement.

The financial planning information is organised as a timeline, so you can start at the stage that applies to you: 5+ years out, around 2 years out, your final 12 months, your first year retired, and the years beyond. Each stage includes trusted partners and free or discounted, independent resources to support your planning.
