Women in Super is a national network of women in the superannuation and finance industries. It was established in 1994 as an unincorporated not for profit association to provide a forum for, and enhance the opportunities of, women employed in the superannuation and financial services industry. It was set up by the Conference of Major Superannuation Funds (now Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees).
