Super to suit the way you work

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.

Super tips for the self-employed

Working for yourself means being responsible for paying your own super – but when you're flying solo or starting a business that can be the last thing on your mind. You’ll also be responsible for paying super to any employees you take on as your business grows. Learn about your obligations, the tax effectiveness of paying yourself super and the different ways you can contribute to your account. 

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.

The graph below shows how the net benefit of AustralianSuper’s Balanced option compares to others.

Net benefit refers to investment earnings to 31 December 2024 (less administration, investment fees and costs, transaction costs and taxes). Investment returns are not guaranteed. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

The graph shows what a member with a $50,000 starting balance would have over 15 years to 31 December 2024, assuming they had a starting annual salary of $50,000 and were receiving superannuation guarantee contributions for the full time period9.
