AddressCould you be super helpful?
As one of Australia’s largest profit-for-members superannuation funds, we always remember whose money it is and whose future we’re looking after. Our 1.1m+ members. These are the people who inspire what we do and how we do it, every day.
And we walk our talk, inside as well as out. That care and inclusion, and a focus on better futures, also extends to the people who work at Aware Super. We are proud of our well-resourced and successful development and wellbeing programs, available to all our staff.
But don't take our word for it, the 2023 AFR BOSS Best Places to Work, 2023 Money Magazine’s Best and Canstar’s Best Value Super Fund in Australia awards back these claims. And while it’s nice to be recognised, we don't do it for the accolades. We work to help everyone get more from their super, so they can get more for their future.
