Join an ever-growing circle of financially empowered women
Average lower earnings, time out from the workforce, and longer life expectancy, are just some of the reasons women can be on the back foot when it comes to super. But we’re committed to changing that, with you.
Super actions you can take today
Some small actions can help you get across your super. Here’s 3 things to consider which may help you boost your super balance and allow you to gain more financial control*.
Here’s what AustralianSuper is advocating for, to get the conversation started
Guarantee Abolishment
Abolishment of $450 per month minimum earnings to receive Superannuation Guarantee: we’re advocating to abolish this because everyone has the right to financial security.
Mandatory Contributions
Increase of mandatory contributions from 9.5% to 12%: We’re campaigning for this, because the difference of just 2.5% would make a significant difference for many women come retirement.
Low Income Contributions
Low Income Superannuation Tax Offset: We successfully campaigned to retain this, knowing two thirds of eligible low income earners are, in fact, women.
