Becoming a
Super-Woman

Back to News
Today, women live around five years longer than men and retire with an average of 47% less in their nest egg1.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Early Release scheme, that dent grew significantly deeper. 

Increasing by2;
 
  • 6.7 for women in their 30s
  • 6 for women in their 40s
  • and 5.4 for women in their 50s
Yet, in typical Super-Women style, Aussie women have been paving the path to a post pandemic recovery, by accessing phone and digital financial advice to help improve their retirement outcomes.   

In the 2019/2020 financial year, we saw a surge in financial advice uptake from female members by an average of 294%.

As women face so many distinct challenges, from pay inequality to multiple career breaks, talking to a specialist can help you make more informed decisions about your financial future.
 

Here, we reveal four super tips you can do today, to activate your Super-Woman journey:

Consolidation – multiple funds can mean multiple fees, which can eat away at your overall nest egg. Avoid paying multiple fees by combining your super into one account3.
 
Contributions – Small steps today can make a big difference to your tomorrow, adding a little extra to your super can increase your final balance through compounding returns.
 
Education - Learn more about your super, in your own time, at your own pace through the Rest learning centre.
 
Advice – Like our superwomen, talking to a financial expert can help you better understand your personal financial situation.
Look forward to a post-pandemic future and start your Super-Woman journey
