Quick Answer

What is Medical Retirement?

 Medical retirement is a financial safety net for employees who cannot work due to injury or illness. Unlike a standard resignation, it provides access to lump-sum insurance payouts or lifetime pensions through your superannuation or employer scheme. Government and public sector employees often have specific entitlements under defined benefit funds such as PSS, CSS, and MilitarySuper.

Why You Need Medical Retirement Advocacy

Q. What’s the difference between medical retirement and TPD?

Medical retirement is a formal process through your employer recognising you can no longer perform your role. TPD is an insurance claim through your super fund. In many cases, you can pursue both simultaneously to maximise your entitlements.

Q. How is medical retirement decided?

Your employer or super fund trustee assesses medical evidence from your treating doctors. They determine whether your condition permanently prevents you from performing your role. We ensure the evidence presented is structured to support your claim.

Q. Do I need to visit an office?

No. We manage the entire process remotely. All consultations, document gathering, and insurer communications are handled via phone, email, and our secure HearMe platform.
