AvSuper Superannuation
Types of AvSuper superannuation accounts
AvSuper accounts are open to anyone eligible to join an Australian superannuation fund. AvSuper also offers a separate type of membership for corporate members (employees of Airservices Australia or the Civil Aviation Safety Authority) and income stream members (for people who have reached their preservation age).
Life insurance, total and permanent disability (TPD) insurance and income protection insurance are available within super (as with any insurance product, consider checking the cover amount, any exclusions, limits or other conditions that apply, as well as the premiums you would be charged before deciding whether it suits your needs). In person, online and over-the-phone financial advice is also available.
