Embracing new ways of working?
Make sure your
super keeps up.
More Australians are running their own businesses, freelancing or contracting. If you're part of this change, it's important to remember that super will still play a big part in your retirement. There are small steps you can take now that could make a big difference to your future.
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 now7, you could enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle when you finish working. And with power of compound returns, the earlier you invest, the longer your super has to grow.

A fund that works as hard as you do
With over 3.5 million members8, we're Australia’s largest super fund3 and have a history of strong, long term performance2. We've also been voted most trusted super fund4. We're a profit-for-member fund. We don't pay profits or dividends to shareholders, so the money we make is for members.
How your fund performs over the long-term will make a big difference to your savings for the future. At AustralianSuper, we focus on what that performance means for the net benefit of your super. That is, what your overall financial position could be after taking away admin and investment fees – it’s one of the best ways to see how funds stack up.
