Cbus Super Shift

Cbus Super Shift

Do you know how much is in your Super account? It's okay if you're unsure. You're in the majority. While the idea of Superannuation can seem overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. Hosted by Andrew Mackinnon, in each episode of the Cbus Super Shift Podcast, Andrew is joined by one of the many Cbus Coordinators, and an expert from the Cbus Advice Team. They’ll cover topics like ‘What’s enough to live well?’ ‘How to track your Super’ and ‘Planning for what you leave behind.’ You’ll get simple, practical steps to manage your super, and explain government initiatives and entitlements that you may very well be eligible for. The time is now to take action for the future you actually want. So, whether retirement is still a long way off or almost at your doorstep, it's time to shift the way you think about your Super.
