How do I withdraw money from my KiwiSaver account?

However, there are a few specific situations where you can access your funds earlier, such as if you're purchasing your first home in NZ, are seriously ill, experiencing significant financial hardship or have moved overseas permanently more than a year ago. If you emigrate to Australia you may be able to transfer your funds to an Australian super fund.
If you are 65, or one of the other situations applies to you, log into the member app to download the appropriate form, which can be found by;
