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.
Here’s what we’re 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.
