Australians have collectively been given more than $1 trillion as the superannuation sector surpasses this historic milestone.

Fresh Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) figures shows the industry has helped give every working Australian a share of $1 trillion. This is money Australians would otherwise not have.

Total assets, including superannuation payments from employers and money added from individual Australians, surpassed $4.1 trillion in March 2025.

The average Australian now holds a little more than $172,000 in superannuation, while those aged 65-69 have an average of $420,936.
