A message from Aware Super
Mid-August is a season of independence for millions of Australians with roots across South Asia, who now call Australia home. This year, Aware Super is marking the occasion with a shared message: the leap continues beyond arrival.
For many migrant Australians, independence began well before retirement. It began with the courageous decision to leave behind the familiar and build a new life in Australia. Financial independence is the next chapter of that journey – the freedom and security that comes from knowing years of hard work have created a strong foundation for the future.
For Aware Super, that journey is seen and valued. As one of Australia’s leading profit-to-member superannuation funds, we serve members from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and lived experiences, recognising that every member’s pathway to financial security and retirement planning is different. We support members throughout their retirement journey – a commitment that reflects our broader approach to social impact and inclusion.
In practice, that means helping people and communities build deeper engagement with super by ensuring it is relevant to their lives, long-term goals and financial priorities. Super is part of a broader journey of building financial security — for members themselves, their families and future generations. For Aware Super, that means helping members understand, access and safeguard their super at the moments and life stages that matter — from a first job and family milestones to supporting loved ones overseas, buying a first home and planning well before retirement.
“For many people and communities across Australia, building financial security is part of a much bigger journey — one that spans work, family, community and future generations,” said Aware Super CEO Deanne Stewart.
“Many have made sacrifices, created opportunities for current and future generations, and contributed enormously to our communities and economy. They deserve to feel just as confident about their financial future, and to know that their journey is recognised and valued.
Financial independence is another leap – one that is built gradually, pay by pay, over many years. We want every member to be supported across their journey.”
Financial independence is about choice, confidence and the ability to plan for what comes next. For some, it is the confidence to plan ahead. For others, it is the ability to support loved ones, create new opportunities and feel more secure about the future. Aware Super is proud to celebrate the journeys, contributions and aspirations of the communities it serves.
