Did you know:
1. Women earn less than men, with an 18% gender gap.
We are a brand created by women, for women, to support you to follow your passion and boost your confidence.
2. Women tend to take more time out of the workforce, particularly when they have children, reducing the amount of super they accumulate.
3. We usually retire earlier and live longer than men.
4. Women in Australia are likely to retire with 40% less super than men.
Scared? You should be.
Barbra Norris, VicSuper Chairperson says, “Research shows that of all retired households, single women are the most likely to be dependent on the full Age Pension for their income. That’s just under $730 per fortnight (2012). It’s clear that the more we can do to assist women to overcome the financial issues associated with lower wages and time out of the workforce, the better off we’ll be as a society.”

Join the ranks of over 2,500 women who have been through the program, with a huge 95% of participants surveyed saying they were motivated to apply what they’d learned. The feedback has been extremely positive:
“As I always say, a man is not a financial plan! It’s about time women educated themselves regarding how to use their money wisely to protect themselves in the future.”
