The Aware Super Story

  • 🧑‍🏫 A Legacy of Service Aware Super was formed through the merger of several respected funds, including First State Super, VicSuper, and WA Super, with a heritage dating back to 1992. The fund was built on a strong history of serving Australia’s essential workers, such as teachers, nurses, and emergency services personnel.

  • 🤝 For Members, Not Shareholders As one of Australia's largest profit-for-member funds, Aware Super is run only to benefit the more than one million members it serves. From its headquarters in Sydney, the fund is committed to acting in its members' best financial interests to help them achieve their retirement goals.

  • 🌱 Investing with Purpose Aware Super believes in responsible investing to deliver strong long-term returns while also creating a positive impact. The fund invests in assets that contribute to the community, such as affordable housing and renewable energy, aligning financial performance with purpose.
