Women in Super has long championed equity in Australia’s retirement system, spotlighting the systemic barriers that underpin the gender super gap. We recognise that unequal pay, undervalued care work and occupational segregation begin long before retirement, and demand solutions that span workplaces, families and policy. By uniting voices across the financial, corporate and community sectors, Women in Super drives bold advocacy for real, measurable change at every stage of a woman’s life.

Our second annual Women in Super Conference brings together leaders, policy-makers and lived-experience experts to confront the most stubborn threads of inequality head-on. From ‘the hard stuff’ of backlash and cultural change, pathways for women in work and the unique challenges of retirement security, each session will combine expert panels and small-group dialogue to co-design actionable solutions. Join us for a day of candid conversations, practical tools and our unflinching commitment to closing the gender super gap.
