The Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) is pushing to stop workers from accessing their pension savings before attaining the age of 50 through proposed changes that are aimed at helping contributors build a decent retirement nest egg.

The regulator, in fresh budget proposals that are under public review, wants the Treasury to delete part of the law allowing workers under 50 to access half of their pension benefits when they change jobs.
