This year’s federal Budget (handed down on 9 May 2017) did not propose major changes to superannuation. There were some minor changes aimed at helping people at both ends of the housing market.

Vision Super has been ranked 19th out of the world’s 500 largest investors for our action on climate change in the 2017 Global Climate Index by the Asset Owners Disclosure Project (AODP).

The independant superannuation ratings agency, SuperRatings, has released its March comparisons and Vision Super's investment options continue to shine. The Just Shares investment option was a stand out performer, ranked number 1 out of 74 Australian superannuation funds. Similarly, well ranked were Vision Super’s International Equities option at 3 out of 90 funds, our Just Shares Allocated Pension option at 2 out of 55 funds, and our International Equities Allocated Pension option at 2 out of 72 funds. 

Ten employees of Vision Super (seven riders and three support crew) participated in the Murray to Moyne charity bike ride over the weekend, raising money and showing our support for the Snowdome Foundation.

We would like to advise our members who have received incorrect notifications from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), that the ATO has begun processing the amended tax notifications. However, due to their system outage in December 2016, the ATO has been experiencing significant delays.

With so many of our members being touched by the effects of cancer, we are pleased to announce the Vision Super Snowdome Foundation Fellowship,  a three year funding partnership with the Snowdome Foundation.

From 1 January 2017 changes to the government Age Pension asset test will take effect, which may impact the pension you receive. These changes were announced in the 2015 Federal Budget and have successfully passed.

We’re pleased to advise you that the technical error that occurred in our reporting to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has now been resolved.
