Happy new year, and welcome to your latest member update!

We are starting the new year with a simplified format for our member updates – we hope you like it!
As always, we appreciate hearing from our members so if you have any feedback on these updates – the format, things you want included and so on – please get in touch and let us know.

--- ROYAL COMMISSION REPORT ---
On Monday 4 February, the report from the Hayne Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry was released to the public.
The report contains 76 recommendations, some of which will impact on superannuation.
We are now reviewing the report and considering implications for AvSuper and our members, and will provide an update for you in the coming days.

--- VIEW STATEMENTS ONLINE ---
Avoiding paper super statements is one way to reduce clutter – and AvSuper statements can be viewed online as long as you are a member.
Did you know you can choose to get your annual statement and annual report electronically so you can get it quicker and save paper? Just log into Member Online to check your preferences.

And, while you’re there, remember to update your contact details so we can send your annual statement to you and keep you informed.
