When Coco* asked her former boss why she hadn’t been paid her super, she was told “not to worry, it’s paid quarterly”. But as time went by, and with red flags flying ominously, she felt helpless. Despite months of enquiries and reassurances that payment would come, her worst fears were realised when her employer went into liquidation. This left her and colleagues without thousands of dollars in super payments they had earned and were legally owed. Almost every week we hear similar stories to Coco’s. Many follow a similar pattern, where a lack of awareness and assumed trust, combined with an out-of-date obligation on employers to only pay super every three months, allows unpaid super to flourish.

Your super isn’t a side account. It’s your future income, your future choices, and your future independence. In this podcast episode, Kerry Towndrow from Financial IQ podcast sat down with Misha Schubert, CEO, Super Members Council, to unpack the real drivers behind Australia’s gender super gap — and why it’s one of the most important financial issues women face today. The episode explores why women retire with significantly less super and how structural factors — from career breaks and part‑time work to relationship dynamics and policy gaps — compound over a lifetime to shape women’s financial futures.
