• Ethical investments available. Choose to invest in a pre-mixed portfolio of socially responsible investments, or invest in socially responsible Australian shares.
• Default insurance cover. Eligible members receive automatic death and total permanent disablement (TPD) cover, with the option to increase, reduce or cancel cover at any time. Aware Super also offers tailored insurance cover for some higher risk professions such as police and ambulance.
• Consolidate your super online. You can easily opt to consolidate your existing super into your new Aware Super account when joining, or any time after you've joined via the web portal or mobile app.
• Access to advice about your super. Members can get free access to general advice about their super account, insurance and investment options. Members can also get access to personal financial advice and planning for an additional fee.

Aware Super investment options explained

Option 1: Pre-mixed investment portfolios

You can choose to invest your super in one of the following pre-mixed investment options depending on your risk tolerance and personal preference.

If you don't want to choose, you'll automatically be invested in the High Growth option below until you're 55 years old. From 55 to 60 this will gradually adjust to the Growth option. And then change to Balanced Growth for members 60-65 years.

Option 2: Single asset class investment options

If you want to be more hands-on with your super, you can build your own investment portfolio using one or a combination of these single asset class options.

What insurance options are available with Aware Super?

You can opt in for the following default insurance when you become an Aware Super member:

• Death: This is paid to your beneficiaries (usually your immediate family) in the event of your unexpected death.
• TPD: This is paid to you in the event you become disabled to the point you cannot work.

Your level of cover will depend on your age and occupation, and you can reduce your level of cover or cancel your cover altogether at any time. You also have the option of adding income protection insurance cover at any point.
