What is the Super Guarantee, and how will it affect you?

Published
It's the start of the new financial year, and there are many new changes coming into effect. Superannuation is a big change — one that affects every working Australian.

This is the compulsory contribution your employer must tip into your super fund, and has boosted Austraila 's retirement savings pool into one of the largest in the world.
