Low Admin Fees
Taking small steps towards a better future
There are many reasons you might take time out of the workforce. Perhaps you're taking a career break or studying. You might be a new parent or caring for family. Or maybe it's due to job loss or illness.
Whatever your situation, there are simple ways to keep your super on track. One of these is making sure your super savings are with a low admin fee1, top long-term performing fund2.
Simple actions you can take while you're not working
We’ve been taking care of your super for you
While you're taking time out of the paid workforce, you can take some peace of mind from knowing your super is still working just as hard for your future. With over 3.4 million members7, we’re Australia’s largest3 and most trusted4 super fund. And because we don’t pay dividends or profits to shareholders, the money we make goes back into the fund for the benefit of members.
No matter your current situation, how your fund performs over the long-term could make a big difference to your retirement. At AustralianSuper, we focus on what that performance means for the net benefit of your super. That is, what your overall financial position could be after taking away admin and investment fees and costs – and it’s one of the best ways to see how funds stack up.
