170,000 members in your age group topped up their super

In 2025, over 170,000 AustralianSuper members aged 30-49 years old added extra to their super¹. Extra contributions can be one way to build your super balance over time.

The impact extra contributions can have

While retirement may feel like it's really far away, even small voluntary contributions today can make a big difference in the future with the power of compounding returns. If it suits your personal situation, adding a little bit extra to your super could have a big impact on your balance for retirement².

There are two different ways you can contribute to your account

Before-tax contributions come out of your pay before it’s taxed. Your employer pays this into your super account on top of compulsory super contributions, or after-tax contributions.
After-tax contributions are extra payments you can make from the money you’ve already paid tax on, like your take-home salary. If you make after-tax contributions, you could also qualify for a super co-contribution, depending on certain eligibility criteria such as your annual income.
