Lowering fees again, and again, and again. We work hard to keep fees low so our members' super can grow. Since completing our mergers in 2022, we have reduced admin fees by 40%*. On 1 January 2025, for the third year in a row, we lowered admin fees for members, again. It’s part of our ongoing commitment to helping members retire with confidence.

This includes actual reductions over the past three years and the forecasted impact of fee changes from 1 January 2025. Individuals may see different levels of fee changes, and in some instances, fee increases, dependent on account balance, products, and investment options. Other fees and costs apply.

Retirement education In this episode of David Koch's Your Money & Your Life television program our Head of Retirement, Jennifer McSpadden, explains why it’s important to pay attention to the big 6-0. “When you turn 60 years and older, you may be able to access your superannuation tax-free when you put your money into a tax-free pension account. If that’s of interest to you, there are a couple things you need to tick off” explains Jennifer. This is just another way we’re helping our members retire with confidence. #BrighterSuper #Retirement #SuperAdvice This advice is general in nature and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation or needs.
