This module is designed to provide you with an introduction to the Australian superannuation environment.

Superannuation is a complex and ever-changing area. For this reason many people do not have an understanding of key superannuation principles and do not take an interest in their superannuation.

Most working Australians, and many retired individuals, have superannuation savings, which for many people is the largest asset they will have outside of owning their main residence.

Therefore, it is important to be aware of the main concepts of superannuation from contributing money during your working life to receiving an income stream in retirement.
