Education sessions for employees

6 August 2024

As an employer, the super payments you make for your employees are essential in helping them to achieve their best possible financial position in retirement.

However there can still be a lot to navigate for employees when it comes to managing their super, regardless of whether they are just starting out or getting closer to retirement.

AustralianSuper has developed a range of education sessions to help members to get the most from their super. Topics span the entire super journey – from understanding the basics right through to wellbeing in retirement.

Onsite and online sessions available

AustralianSuper Education Managers can present education sessions on a wide range of topics, with each session tailored for your employees.

Sessions can be delivered onsite at your business and will usually require a minimum of 20 registrations. Alternatively, we can also deliver sessions online as a live webinar.

Both options also include a Q&A segment, giving employees the chance to ask specific questions to our Education Team.

In the last financial year, we delivered over 1,500 workplace sessions nationally, and it was great to connect with so many engaged people.

We also have pre-recorded webinars for employees to view at any time, from the comfort of their home. On-demand sessions include super basics for those just starting out, with more detailed information for those employees planning for retirement.

Education session topics

To help your employees make informed choices about their super we’ve created education sessions that could assist them whatever their path.

Some of our most popular sessions include:

• Super basics

  Sometimes trying to understand super can be confusing. We’ll break it down in simple terms so your employees can feel confident knowing how to make the most out of theirs.

• Get your super sorted

  There are some simple things your employees can do that can make a big difference to their super for retirement. Discover some practical steps that can help them take control of their superannuation.

• Women and super

  Did you know that women approaching retirement on average have less super than men? Discover ways to reduce this super gap and improve women’s financial future for retirement.

• Do you need $1 million to retire?

  How much money do you need to retire? It’s a question most Australians ask themselves at some stage. You might have heard you need $1 million – it’s the figure that’s often thrown around as the financial retirement ideal. But the truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all. A comfortable retirement will look different for everyone.

• Understanding transition to retirement

  Less work, more play. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Learn strategies to work less for the same take home pay. Or save more super and access a tax-free income when working from age 60.

• Who inherits your super?

  What happens to your super when you're gone? Did you know it isn’t automatically covered by your estate? Learn about how you can nominate your loved ones and understand the potential tax consequences for different beneficiaries.
