BOOST FOR SUPER PAYMENTS TO MUMS

This reform will benefit around 180,000 Australian mothers annually and narrow the gender superannuation gap, which currently stands at $50,000 for those nearing retirement. Super Members Council CEO Misha Schubert urges swift passage of the Bill, highlighting its potential to significantly improve financial security for women and advance gender equity in retirement.
