HESTA is thrilled to have been part of the development of a ground-breaking dementia care village,

with Glenview. Our impact investing program is part of a much bigger focus about how we make a real difference to the financial future of every member.
@oflaherty_lucy
This is what we call having an impact. We’ve committed a further $40 million to
invest in projects that aim to make a positive difference to society and
achieve market-based returns.

If your super’s with us, it’s not with tobacco – that’s a great thing for your future, and our partners

For over 10 years, HESTA has called for the scrapping of the $450 super threshold, causing many casual & part-time workers, often women, to miss out on benefits of super. We’re glad to see the gov take this overdue step to make our super system fairer for women & the lower paid.
Men out-earn women across every occupation and industry in Australia. More than 80% of HESTA members are women. Closing this gap will make a big difference to their financial future.

As a super fund dedicated to people working in health & comm services, we’re pleased to stand alongside peak health bodies calling for urgent global & national action on

To all our incredible nurses on

HESTA has long supported removal of the $450 threshold as a way of improving retirement outcomes, especially for women. We hope the Senate takes this opportunity to support this long overdue change.
