Balance
New research from the Super Members Council has found that nearly half of Australians don't feel confident about the basics of super.
But, those who do understand their super are significantly more likely to take meaningful steps, like making extra contributions, comparing fees and checking their investments.¹
So, what does this mean for you as a HESTA member?
It's a reminder that even small actions, like the below, can make a real difference to your retirement.
A friendly prompt to check in on your super
The Super Members Council — which represents members like you — have launched a new 'Look After Your Super' campaign, featuring a ‘Golden Super Goose’. Just like the golden goose in the fairy tale, your super has the potential to keep delivering for you over the long term — especially when you give it a little attention. Visit lookafteryoursuper.com.au to explore plain-language answers to common super questions.
Share the love
Know someone just starting out in their career – a friend, family member or colleague? The Golden Super Goose might help them get a head start too. The earlier you get to know your super, the harder it can work for you over time.
