About Super Consumers Australia

Super Consumers Australia is the advocate for people on low and middle incomes in Australia’s superannuation system. We were founded to fight for an accountable and fair super system that delivers great service and great financial outcomes in retirement. Based on deep research, we influence policymakers, hold super funds accountable, and help consumers maximise and manage their super.

Formed in 2013, we are an independent, not-for-profit organisation and a leading voice for consumers of superannuation products and services. We partner with Australia’s biggest consumer advocacy body, CHOICE.

Together we will change the superannuation system using:

• Campaigning and policy: Using real people’s stories we shine a light on the biggest problems in superannuation and hold industry and government to account in fixing them.
• Investigative journalism: Super Consumers isn’t selling a product. This means we can uncover the truth about issues people are having with their retirement savings and provide practical advice to help cut through the spin.
• Research and analysis: Using rigorous, conflict-free research we lift the lid on fund performance, fees and insurance. We turn this analysis into action by using it to back reform and make super easier for people to understand.
