Over 30 years' experience in the education industry

Aware Super has been investing superannuation for members working in the education industry since 1992.

9.63% p.a. returned over 10 years

If you were invested in Aware Super’s High Growth option over the last 10 years, on average you would have grown your money by a strong 9.63% p.a.[P1]

Strong long-term returns along with competitive fees may mean you can retire with more money in your super balance.

MySuper Lifecycle, the smart way to invest your super

MySuper Lifecycle. It really does revolve around you.

This investment approach will fine-tune your investment mix over time to help you retire with more. It’s a smart investment approach that puts you at its centre.

When you’re younger, you might want to invest in high growth options. 

After you turn 56, it will automatically reduce your exposure to market ups-and-downs. This makes your super less risky as you start to think about retirement.

MySuper Lifecycle helps you grow your super savings while you’re young and manage investment risk as you get closer to and in retirement.

Doing more for educators and the community

Superannuation insurance

You can apply for income protection, total and permanent disablement (TPD), and death cover, including terminal illness when you have a super account with us. Premiums are deducted directly from your super account, eliminating out-of-pocket expenses.

Essential worker housing

We invest in essential worker housing through Aware Real Estate. Apartments are rented at around 80% of the market rent to essential workers, like nurses, teachers, firefighters and police officers, many of whom are our members. Lower rents can help essential workers afford to live in central locations, closer to where they work.
