Description

Recorded live at the ASFA 2025 Conference on the Gold Coast, this special Voice of Super episode features two of the industry’s biggest leaders: Deanne Stewart, CEO of Aware Super, and Kristian Fok, CEO of Cbus Super.

They join host Madeleine Morris to tackle the "demographic wave" facing the sector, with 700,000 Australians expected to retire in the next five years. The conversation unpacks the shift from accumulation to income, the specific challenges facing members in physically demanding trades, and the power of digital guidance tools to boost retiree confidence.

They also debate the "unworkable" friction points in current policy, such as minimum drawdowns and contribution rules, and look ahead to the super landscape of 2035.
