Superannuation

Why Superannuation is a Big Deal for Your Future

Why Care About Superannuation? Imagine a long, happy retirement – we’re talking possibly 15 years or more! As we’re living longer (men around 81 and women around 85 life expectancy), it’s important to have enough money saved up. Superannuation is your key to a comfortable retirement. It helps you live well after you stop working, much better than just having the Age Pension.

How Superannuation Works for You

Think of superannuation as a special kind of savings you can access when you retire. It usually costs less in taxes than other ways of saving money. If you work for yourself, you can even save on taxes when you add to your super.

What Happens in Your Super Fund

Once your money reaches your super fund, they use it to make more money for you, either in a way they choose or a way you choose. Remember, there are fees for managing your super, like for running the fund and investing your money.

Your Role with Your Super

If you work for someone, your employer must put money into your super account regularly. Keep an eye on your super and make sure it’s growing well for your future. If you’re self-employed, you’ll need to add to your super yourself.
