About the eTraining

This online on-demand course focuses on helping you to reflect on important issues relating to your preparation for retirement. It covers three key topics:

• Career (When and why do you want to leave work?)
• Health (Will your health go the distance allowing you to leave work when it is optimal for you?), and
• Finance (How can you maximise your retirement income to live the life you want?).

Our aim is to improve retirement planning and optimise the timing of workplace exit leading to good adjustment and well-being in retirement. We recommend completing the modules in the order presented: Career, then Health and then Finance.

A short video introducing the course can be found here

The course was developed with the funding support of an Australian Research Council Linkage Program and Allianz Retire+. It was designed as a resource for people contemplating retirement or interested in exploring retirement options to help with their planning.

The course has been formally evaluated as part of a study involving 829 people.
