This new report looks closely at barriers First Nations people face when accessing their super.
What did the report ask for?
- Super funds should help First Nations people overcome ID barriers
- When people call their super fund, they should be culturally safe, and there should be mandatory customer service standards.
- The ATO and super funds should be better at helping next of kin find their deceased loved one’s super.
- There should be better funding of financial counsellors and legal support.
