Can I use the money transferred from my Australian superannuation to buy my first home?
Last Updated: 09 Mar 2016
Because of Australian superannuation fund rules, savings from an Australian complying superannuation fund aren’t available for a KiwiSaver first home withdrawal or the home deposit subsidy. However, any earnings on the transferred amount can be withdrawn once you’re eligible to make a KiwiSaver first home withdrawal.
