Every dollar counts when you work for yourself

Being your own boss can give you freedom and control over your job. But while you’re focusing on the now, it’s important to get your money working for your future, too. Whatever extra you can add to your super balance now2, could make a big difference later.

At AustralianSuper, we’re with you every step of the way, making it easy for you to manage and add to your super. And because we’re a low admin fee fund3, more of your money goes into your super balance.

 

A little now could be a lot in the future

Even if retirement feels far away, saving for your future now can pay off. By adding to your super now2 if it suits your personal situation, you could enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle when you finish working. And with power of compound interest, the earlier you invest, the longer your super has to grow.
