Superannuation

Super (Superannuation) Defined

Superannuation, commonly referred to as "super," is a government-supported and encouraged financial system in Australia designed to help individuals save and invest for their retirement. It operates on a compulsory savings principle where employers are required to contribute a fixed percentage of an employee's earnings into a superannuation fund. These funds accumulate and invest contributions over the course of an individual's working life to ensure financial support during retirement.

Superannuation is more than just a retirement savings plan; it also offers additional benefits such as life insurance, Total Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance, and Income Protection (IP) insurance, which provide crucial financial protection in case of unforeseen circumstances leading to disability or the inability to work. The system is regulated under Australian superannuation legislation, ensuring the protection and growth of these funds in a tax-effective environment.
