Would you like to learn tips for effectively setting up your own super? Join us for a must-see event exclusive for Women in Super members to empower and educate your own superannuation goals. This session will explore the gender superannuation gap and the broader financial challenges women face across their lifetimes. We’ll unpack the systemic issues contributing to inequality—such as the impacts of domestic violence, parental leave, and menopause—and the actions women can take to secure their financial security. Presented by Caroline Melocco, Relationship Manager at Equip Super.

Caroline is passionate about educating women and their super. Having worked in the superannuation sector for more than 18 years, Caroline is dedicated about helping women achieve a comfortable lifestyle in retirement – it’s at the heart of everything she does. Caroline has a special interest in women and super, and strives to help empower and educate women, and close the superannuation (and gender) pay gap. 


Through a mix of storytelling, practical tools, and expert insights, this Lunch & Learn will cover:

  • The foundations of superannuation, how it works, and assess your progress using ASFA retirement standards
  • Practical strategies for super growth, including consolidation, contributions, investments, partner support options, and the role of insurance
  • Real-world facts about women and super, the origins of the gap, support services for domestic violence, and how men can be allies in achieving financial equality, along with a practical 'super health checklist' for meaningful action
