A strong voice advocating for more than 11 million Australians who have over $1.5 trillion in retirement savings managed by profit-to-member superannuation funds.

The Super Members Council (SMC) will protect and advance their interests throughout their lives, advocating on their behalf to ensure superannuation policy is stable, effective, and equitable. We produce rigorous research and analysis and work with Parliamentarians and policy makers across the full breadth of Parliament.

SMC's Super Policy Priorities

Twelve key policy priorities to further strengthen the super system and ensure it continues to deliver strong financial security to Australians in retirement.

Guaranteeing a super start to work

Australia’s super system was designed to be universal, but Australians under the age of 18 are currently only required to be paid super if they work more than 30 hours a week for the one employer.

Addressing unpaid super gives economic security for all

About one-in-four workers across Australia currently miss out on about $5 billion in super each year at an average $1,800 per impacted worker.
