Super support for First Nations communities
We want everyone to achieve their best financial position in retirement and we recognise that barriers exist for some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, which make it harder for them to access and manage their super.
The Remote Community Outreach program was started by the Fund in 2023. It aims to improve the financial wellbeing and retirement outcomes for First Nations peoples.
Outreach community visits
In delivering this program, we work alongside community partners to visit select remote First Nations communities. We then provide in-person support to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples better understand and manage their super.
Individuals can sit down with us and talk through their super situation. We have helped members find lost super, understand how to access super, meet identity requirements, complete administrative forms, and find information about super that is culturally-appropriate and easy-to-understand.

Australian Super's outreach programme aims to provide service, assistance and education for members who live in a number of remote areas.
Working alongside trusted community partners, we help hundreds of members who might experience difficulties engaging with us or their super.
This is an important part of the work we do to help ensure Super is super for everyone.

“Being able to find an account for someone who didn't know they even had super, and explain that they have that money for when they stop working, is always a highlight.”
