Get a Superannuation Fund 

Superannuation, or 'super', is money put aside by your employer over your working life for you to live on when you retire from work. Super is important for you, because the more you save, the more money you will have for your retirement. 

You will provide your fund details to each employer throughout your working career. You can also change super funds and move any money you have accumulated across to your new super fund. 

Use this Super comparison tool to find which Superannuation fund is best for you.
