Four years ago I received a TPD payment at age 39 for health reasons. Since then I have received an income from my super account (industry super fund not a SMSF). Recently my condition has improved to a point where I feel like i can work again (casual or maybe part time).

I know i am not allowed to put any contributions into my existing super (read it on another forum) but im not sure If I allowed to work? Can I work and receive the income from my super? How does it all get taxed?

Thanks

There's no change to the super you unlocked at age 39.

Any super you earn going forward or voluntarily contribute will be preserved and untouchable until you meet another Conditions of release | Australian Taxation Office

Tax on super benefits | Australian Taxation Office You need to identify how your super income stream is taxed based on your age, its components and whether it is being paid on the basis of disability.
