Hi @SupgeeU,

Thanks for getting in touch!

The downsizer measure was introduced from 1 July 2018 for individuals who are 65 years old or older and meet the eligibility criteria to make a contribution to their super of up to $300,000 from the sale of their home.

To be eligible, an individual needs to answer yes to all of the eligibility criteria. You can find information about eligibility and the downsizer measure on our website.

Thanks, JodieH.
