Let's close the super gap together

Did you know that women generally retire with 25%* less super than their male counterparts?

We’re a super fund that represents more than 1 million women. That’s why we continue to advocate for changes to the super system – to create a fairer, more equitable super experience for everyone.

We’re also here to help you get the most out of your super. Learn about super and build your financial confidence with our educational resources and podcast, Super Simple Chats. Plus, check if your super is on the right track with Rest Advice.

*The median super balance for men aged 60-64 years is $205,385 whereas for women in the same age group, it is $153,685, a gap of 25 per cent. The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, ASFA Research: An update on superannuation account balances, September 2024.

How Rest helps to close the gap 

Rest has backed reforms that improve super outcomes for women, including super on Paid Parental Leave, removing the $450 threshold, and changes to the LISTO. We continue to call for more changes, which you can read about in our Advocacy page.
