If you have met a condition of release (eg retirement or turning age 65), a super income stream can be commenced. It is not necessary to wait, even if you have utilised the bring forward rule.

This link provides useful information on conditions of release:

This one additional information on super income streams:

Retirement withdrawal – lump sum or income stream | Australian Taxation Office

If you were intending to claim a portion of the contribution as a tax deduction, you want to ensure the notice of intent is submitted to the super trustee and acknowledgement received prior to moving into the income stream.
