Defence Forces, firefighters, and prison guards can defer retirement by two years from today

The maximum retirement age for members of the Defence Forces, firefighters, and prison guards is being raised from 60 to 62 from today. 

Members of the Defence Forces, firefighters, and prison guards will be entitled to work until they're 62 rather than 60 from now on.

The move follows the recent enactment of the Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2024.
