When retirement isn't your choice
Finishing work sooner than you planned can feel daunting. If it's happened to you, you're not alone, and you may have more options than you think.
If you’re an organisation that employs supported workers, we congratulate you for giving people with a disability the opportunity to show their passion, commitment and abilities in the workplace.
We share that same passion and commitment by empowering your supported workers — providing information, advice, flexibility and choice.
If your supported workers don’t have a TFN, give them a hand by explaining to the individual, or their carer, how to get one. If HESTA doesn’t have their TFN, they may miss out on important benefits like the government co-contribution, or being able to make additional contributions to boost their super.
Worse still, they could end up paying more tax.
They can apply for a TFN at ato.gov.au/tfn
Supported workers don’t always have a lot of super, making it even more important to protect the little they’ve saved for their retirement. Insurance fees are deducted from super so it’s worth considering whether insurance is appropriate for them.
We’ve made it easy for supported workers to cancel or reduce their insurance cover by creating a dedicated insurance alteration form.
We love sharing our expertise through education and advice — it’s all part of the service. We can help you inform, inspire and advise supported workers to make the best possible decision for their futures.
From workplace sessions, through to one-on-one advice, our national team can give you practical, professional help on all things super.
We also provide Easy English documents to make super information easier to understand and more accessible.
HESTA information booklets available in Easy English:

We recap this quarter’s performance and market news, and reflect on how 25 years of Responsible Investment continues to shape the way we invest.
Super is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make. And here at HESTA, it’s our role to help you make the most of it.
