Super that works as hard as you do

One big reason AustralianSuper is the country’s largest industry fund is because we put members first. Profits and dividends aren’t paid to shareholders, and earnings go back to members. That’s just one way AustralianSuper helps 2.2 million members⁴ get ready for retirement.
