I am 63 years old. My current contract will end at 30/06/2026. Most likely, I can have a renewed contract at the same company for one more year 01/07/2026 to 30/06/2027. Can I withdraw a lump sum of my super? Thanks all.
Consider a transition to retirement if an income stream instead of a lump sum may still help you achieve what you want https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/jobs-and-employment-types/working-as-an-employee/leaving-the-workforce/transition-to-retirement

Probably not before 30/06/2027 unless you retire before then. You don't appear to meet a condition of release. Conditions of release are below.

You are under age 65 and you haven't retired. You also haven't mentioned any other qualifier to gain early access.
