About Super Consumers and CHOICE:

Super Consumers is the peoples’ advocate in superannuation. We work to advance and protect the interests of people on low and middle incomes in Australia’s superannuation system. Super Consumers has been brought into existence to be a strong, fearless voice for people with superannuation savings.

Super Consumers has partnered with Australia’s leading consumer advocate, CHOICE, to deliver a program of work over three years.

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
