Understanding super

Learn more, know more

We don't expect you to be an expert in super, but this section can help you learn more about it.

Decisions you make now about superannuation, like how much to save and where to invest, could impact the level of financial security you have when you retire. So, understanding more about your options can help you get in control and make your retirement goals more achievable.

A good place to start is superannuation basics which provides a good outline of the key ideas in super. If you're after more detail, refer to the factsheets we've developed for you.

Things to keep in mind

As you read and think about your super, it's helpful to keep two things in mind:

1. You can usually choose your super fund when you change jobs. Choice makes it easier to keep your super under control.
2. Your super is intended for your retirement. You usually won't be accessing your super until then, so taking a longer-term view is important.
