When you reach your preservation age (60) and permanently retire, you can transfer your accumulated superannuation into a retirement phase Account-Based Pension. The primary advantage is tax elimination: the 15% earnings tax inside accumulation super drops to 0%, and all pension payments paid to you are completely free of income tax.
