Check which account is right for you

You can open a retirement account from when you turn 60. So tell us a little bit about you and your employment situation, and we’ll help you find which account is right for you.

Become a member and move money to Aware Super

To join Aware Super for retirement, you’ll first move money into a Future Saver account. Once your money settles, we’ll automatically transfer it into your new retirement account. You choose whether to close your Future Saver or keep it open.

Set up your retirement account

Once your money is in your retirement account, you're in control of your investment options and when your pay days are. So, whether you are transitioning to retirement or retired, it's time to enjoy your retirement journey.

Everyone’s situation is different, and we haven't considered your financial circumstances. So, before making a decision about joining, you should read our PDS and TMD and consider your own personal circumstances to decide if this is the right thing for you.
